@@ -4,9 +4,9 @@ The zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin adds PDF support to zathura by using the
mupdf rendering library (replacing the poppler-based PDF support from
the zathura package).
-Note: This overwrites /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so from the zathura
-package (replace lib with lib64 for 64-bit systems). zathura doesn't
-support having multiple plugins per filetype, so after installing
-zathura-pdf-mupdf, zathura will always use the mupdf backend. To switch
-back to the poppler backend, remove both zathura and zathura-pdf-mupdf,
-then reinstall zathura.
+To switch between the mupdf and poppler backends without reinstalling
+packages, adjust the symlink at /usr/lib(64)/zathura/pdf.so. It
+should point to either pdf-mupdf/pdf.so or pdf-poppler/pdf.so. You can
+also reinstall zathura to switch to the poppler backend, or reinstall
+zathura-pdf-mupdf to switch to the mupdf backend (whichever was installed
+last "wins").
