I tried it some time ago, and I didn't like it. Dictionary lookup, Wikipedia lookup, calendar, reading statistics, news downloader, it litters the directory of the file with a subdirectory for "metadata"... too kitchen-sinky.
And as usual, a completely different interface from everything else, that sticks out like a sore thumb, and looks more like something you'd use in a cell phone than in an actual computer. Even Qt plays nicer in GTK DEs and vice versa.
The best one I've found was the one Jako³13 recommended, Zathura. Not perfect, but good. But that's only because Okular is rendering images really bad.
