Theisen's <application>Ghostview</application> program which uses Alladin
|
|
<application>Ghostscript</application> to view documents prepared in
|
|
<trademark class="registered">Adobe</trademark>'s &PostScript; page
|
|
description language. &PostScript; is the major page description language
|
|
for printing on &UNIX; systems and this application can be used to preview
|
|
material intended for printing or for reading documents online.

<para>
|
|
You can use &kghostview; with all recent versions of
|
|
<application>Ghostscript</application>. Newer versions offer much
|
|
improved performance which you can take advantage of with &kghostview;.

If a document does not conform to the <trademark
|
|
class="registered">Adobe</trademark> document structuring convention the
|
|
functionality of the viewer is limited. For example, if there is no
|
|
table of contents, skipping around the document and marking pages is not
|
|
possible.

<para>
|

This section describes what you see in the main &kghostview; window, the
|
|
actions of the Toolbar buttons and how to use the Page List.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
You can open multiple instances of &kghostview; to view multiple
|
|
documents. The titlebar at the top of a window shows you the name of
|
|
the document in that window.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The main area displays a page of the current document. If the page is
|
|
too large to fit inside the window, scrollbars are automatically added
|
|
to the sides of the display, although these can be disabled with the
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that the Toolbar and the Page List can be hidden with the <link
|
|
linkend="settings">Settings</link> menu options to give more space on
|
|
the screen for the content area.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
You can scroll up and down in a page with the <keysym>Up
|

|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Read Up</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
|
|
(<keycap>PageUp</keycap>) and <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu>

immediately to any page with a &LMB; click on the appropriate entry in
|
|
the Page List.

|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If selected in the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu a Page List will be
|
|
displayed at the left side of the window. This list has two columns: the
|
|
first may contain a flag indicating that the page has been marked, the
|
|
second contains the page numbers. You can use this page list to navigate
|
|
through the document or to mark pages for printing.
|

</para>

<para>
|
|
You can toggle the <quote>page marked</quote> flag for the currently
|
|
displayed page with <keycombo
|
|
action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>M</keycap></keycombo> or for
|
|
any page by &LMB; clicking on it in the Page List. You can also clear or
|
|
change your page marks using the context menu that is activated by
|
|
&RMB; clicking anywhere in the Page List area or by selecting the <link
|
|
linkend="menuedit">Edit</link> menu.
