I have caffeine 2.9.8 and lubuntu 20.04.3. I want to prevent screen auto-lock while i'm reading a pdf.

In my typical usage i'm using Document Viewer (evince) in a normal window (not full screen) with caffeine activated through the indicator in system tray. But if i leave the system long enough without key press/ trackpad use, the screen keeps getting locked.

Am i using caffeine as intended? If not, is there something i can do to not have my screen getting locked?

I don't want to disable the screen lock completely.

caffeine is intended to

"prevent the desktop becoming idle in full-screen mode"

so won't have any impact on your usage.

As I understand your issue, you need to tweak the xscreensaver settings directly as per the Lubuntu manual.
