What program can display PDF tooltips on a Linux system?

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Isomorph on August 9, 2020

I am trying to put in some text tooltips in some tikz graphic.

I have found an example using pdfcomment, but after I have used pdflatex and opened it with Evince, I don’t see any tooltips.

What am I doing wrong?

As far as I know, the only linux pdf viewer that can display tooltips is the linux version of Adobe reader.

Nowadays (2020), there are rather more options for viewing (and adding) PDF annotations for free on Linux. Ones I have used personally include Chromium's PDF viewer, which can display PDF annotations, and MuPDF, which can also create annotations.
