<title>Introduction</title>
|
|
<para>&kpdf; is a &kde; <firstterm>PDF</firstterm> (Portable Document Format) viewer
|
|
based on the code of the xpdf application. Although being based on xpdf code, &kpdf;
|
|
has some unique features such as continuous mode and presentation support.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The PDF format is widely used for publishing documents that are
|
|
mostly not meant to be edited again. &kpdf; is only a viewer
|
|
for these files and therefore it doesn't provide any functionality
|
|
to edit or create PDF documents.

<para>
|
|
To view a PDF file in &kpdf;, select <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Open...
|
|
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, choose a PDF or PS file in the dialogue and click <guibutton>Open</guibutton>.
|
|
Your file should now be displayed in the main window.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>
|

If you have already opened files in &kpdf; before, you can quickly access them by selecting them in
|
|
the <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guisubmenu>Open Recent</guisubmenu></menuchoice> menu.

<title>Navigating</title>
|
|
<para>This section describes how you can navigate through a document in &kpdf;.</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are multiple ways of scrolling the viewing area. One is to use the
|
|
<keycap>Up Arrow</keycap> and <keycap>Down Arrow</keycap> keys. You may also use
|
|
the scrollbar, your <!--TODO: insert entity, if any-->mousewheel or the <keycap>Page Up</keycap> and <keycap>Page Down</keycap>
|
|
keys.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Another way is to hold the &LMB; down at any place on the document while dragging the mouse in the
|
|
opposite direction of where you want to move. This procedure only works if the Browse Tool is
|
|
enabled, which you can select by choosing <menuchoice><guimenu>Tools</guimenu><guimenuitem>Browse Tool
|
|
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The navigation panel on the left side of the screen enables two more ways of navigating
|
|
through a document:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you click on a page thumbnail the viewing area will be brought to
|
|
that page.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the document has a table of contents, clicking on a table
|
|
of contents item will bring the document to to the page linked to that
|
|
item.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Some documents have links. In this case you can click on them and the view will
|
|
change to the page it links to. If the link is to a web page the default
|
|
browser will be invoked.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Additionally, you may use the following functionality to quickly move to specific places
|
|
in the document:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|

|
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Presentation</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
|
|
It shows the document on a page per page basis. The pages are shown with
|
|
