I do.  That's how I found out that XPDF was crap to use compared to
Evince, in most cases.  Yet XPDF can view some PDF files that Evince
just showed a page not yet rendered.

I'm not keen on the idea of running random programs to find out what
they do.  But I will try out alternatives, when I can see what a program
is supposed to be able to do.
