New Revision: 45706
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/45706

Log:
  Remove repetitive and unnecessary table of applications from synopsis.
  Remove mention of Adobe Reader, which has been deprecated.  Since Adobe
  Reader was the last Linux-native application discussed, remove the
  mention of Linux emulation from the synopsis.  Add ePDFview and Okular
  to the document viewers section for PR 193668.
