Cons

2. Platform Integration: Primarily developed for KDE desktop environments, Okular may not be as well-integrated or feature-complete on non-Linux platforms, potentially impacting user experience on Windows or macOS.
3. Performance Issues: Okular can be resource-intensive, particularly when handling large or graphics-heavy documents. Users with lower-spec hardware may experience slowdowns or reduced responsiveness.
