So had I.

Besides evince's various UI-usability issues (Admitted, these are mostly 
a matter of taste),
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161374
renders evince almost non-applicable to me.

Yes to both - It works to the same extend it had on F20 and before.

For now, I am using evince, firefox's built-in pdf reader and the old 
acroread. However, actually, I am disatified with all three of them, but 
haven't found a convincing alternative, yet.
