I read a lot of PDF documents during the day, be it at work or at home.

For me, it comes as a shock that almost no viewer (to the exception of Adobe Reader) is able to open mulitple files with tabs !

So I looked at Evince and began wondering why nobody asked for that and then.. I found that.
This discouraged me a little bit to see such narrow minded opinions.

But anyway, I've never done any GUI application, time to start, neh ?

That's why, I hacked tabe. But while coding this, I discovered the tasks was way bigger than I imagined and soon realized I had not that much time to give to that project.

I did what I should have done before coding tabe : a good ol' Google search.

After a few minutes, found the "hack" I was looking for and a few seconds later, I had tabs with all the feature you may ask for.

This miraculous solution is based on MozPlugger, the beauty is that it support many browser. You may install it as such : (Ubuntu/Debian)

$ sudo apt-get install mozplugger

And you're done with the latests Ubuntu, for the others :

$ vim $HOME/.mozilla/mozpluggerrc

And input this :

application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-postscript: ps: PostScript file
application/postscript: ps: PostScript file
    repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"

If you happen to use Chromium, you should read this to complete your installation.

Restart your browser and you're done.

And if you wish to remove the toolbar from evince, edit ~/.gnome2/evince/evince_toolbar.xml to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<toolbars version="1.0">
</toolbars>

I let you configure your window manager to open PDFs with your browser.
