Qpdfview is my daily driver for reading documents on Linux. Supports tabs, search, highlighting.

If you want something still more lightweight, Zathura would be the way to go. It can be a tad too minimalistic, but great for LaTeX with vimtex, and for an occasional quick document, the startup times are phenomenal.

I love Zathura under Linux. Bonus points for not attempting to do its own window management (tabs and whatnot) and leaving that to the window manager.

But one thing I really hate with it is that if you rename a file while it's open, it'll stop displaying it. Not sure if this is related to zathura itself or to the backend I'm using (mupdf).
