PDF browser

Hi Everyone,
   I cannot find an efficient way to browse and find the right PDF document. I end up enlarging the icons.
Would you recommend any PDF browser not reader/viewer if any?
Thank you

Re: PDF browser

Do you just want a desktop search which also provides full text search in local Documents? Or do you need to organize research papers?

For research:
KBibTeX is a bibtex editor with full text search of local Documents and online search for various sites like ACM, arxiv and many more. Mendeley does similar stuff, i think.
As far as i know it doesn't index the text in the document, just extracts it with poppler.

Re: PDF browser

Hi again,
   I just need an effective way to browse my PDFs either in some software like Calibre mentioned by Rookie or some file explorer, mine allows only to enlarge the icons so I can see the 1st page without opening a document.
Many thanks for your input guys.
Cheers
