i was not aware that evince has this capability now: I was used to using
ctrl-r to reload the changed document. (this also  works on epdfview).

another alternative is xpdf whose biggest plus is that it does not use
keys such as ctrl in the keybindings. however, it has some missing
features such as the ability to customize printing, etc.

i wish someone would take over epdfview from emma-soft and speed up its
glacial pace of development. 

thanks,
