9.2. Viewing PDF and PS files
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides applications that allow you to view both PDF and PS files. To view PDF files, use the
gpdf application. For PS files, use
ggv.
Both gpdf and
ggv are integrated into
Nautilus. Double-clicking on a PDF
or PS file while in Nautilus opens
the file in the large pane of the
Nautilus window. You can then scroll
through and even print the files.
Both applications can be reached from a shell prompt by entering
the name of the application followed by the path to the file.
gpdf /home/user/PDF/foo.pdf |
The above command opens the file foo.pdf,
located in user's PDF/ directory, with the
gpdf application.
The above command opens the file bar.ps,
located in user's PS/ directory, with the
ggv application.
