NAME
|
|
xpdf - Portable Document Format (PDF) file viewer for X
|
|
(version 3.02)
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
xpdf [options] [PDF-file [page | +dest]]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Xpdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
|
|
(These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files,
|
|
from the name of Adobe's PDF software.) Xpdf runs under
|
|
the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2.
|
|
|
|
To run xpdf, simply type:
|
|
|
|
xpdf file.pdf
|
|
|
|
where file.pdf is your PDF file. The file name can be
|
|
followed by a number specifying the page which should be
|
|
displayed first, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
xpdf file.pdf 18
|
|
|
|
You can also give a named destination, prefixed with '+'
|
|
in place of the page number. (This is only useful with
|
|
PDF files that provide named destination targets.)
|
|
|
|
You can also start xpdf without opening any files:
|
|
|
|
xpdf
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
Xpdf reads a configuration file at startup. It first
|
|
tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc.
|
|
If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config
|
|
file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location
|
|
can be changed when xpdf is built). See the xpdfrc(5) man
|
|
page for details.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
Many of the following options can be set with configura-
|
|
tion file commands or X resources. These are listed in
|
|
square brackets with the description of the corresponding
|
|
command line option.
|
|
|
|
-g geometry
|
|
Set the initial window geometry. (-geometry is
|
|
equivalent.) [X resource: xpdf.geometry]
|
|
|
|
-title title
|
|
Set the window title. By default, the title will
|
|
be "xpdf: foo.pdf". [X resource: xpdf.title]
|
|
|
|
-cmap Install a private colormap. This is ignored on
|
|
TrueColor visuals. [X resource: xpdf.installCmap]
|
|
|
|
-rgb number
|
|
Set the size of largest RGB cube xpdf will try to
|
|
allocate. The default is 5 (for a 5x5x5 cube); set
|
|
to a smaller number to conserve color table
|
|
entries. This is ignored with private colormaps
|
|
and on TrueColor visuals. [X resource:
|
|
xpdf.rgbCubeSize]
|
|
|
|
-rv Set reverse video mode. This reverses the colors
|
|
of everything except images. It may not always
|
|
produce great results for PDF files which do weird
|
|
things with color. This also causes the paper
|
|
color to default to black. [X resource:
|
|
xpdf.reverseVideo]
|
|
|
|
-papercolor color
|
|
Set the "paper color", i.e., the background of the
|
|
page display. This will not work too well with PDF
|
|
files that do things like filling in white behind
|
|
the text. [X resource: xpdf.paperColor]
|
|
|
|
-mattecolor color
|
|
Set the matte color, i.e., the color used for back-
|
|
ground outside the actual page area. (There is a
|
|
separate setting, xpdf.fullScreenMatteColor, for
|
|
full-screen mode.) [X resource: xpdf.matteColor]
|
|
|
|
-z zoom
|
|
Set the initial zoom factor. A number specifies a
|
|
zoom percentage, where 100 means 72 dpi.You may
|
|
also specify 'page', to fit the page to the window
|
|
size, or 'width', to fit the page width to the win-
|
|
dow width. [config file: initialZoom; or X
|
|
resource: xpdf.initialZoom]
|
|
|
|
-cont Start in continuous view mode, i.e., with one ver-
|
|
tical scroll bar for the whole document. [config
|
|
file: continuousView]
|
|
|
|
-t1lib yes | no
|
|
Enable or disable t1lib (a Type 1 font rasterizer).
|
|
This defaults to "yes". [config file: enableT1lib]
|
|
|
|
-freetype yes | no
|
|
Enable or disable FreeType (a TrueType / Type 1
|
|
font rasterizer). This defaults to "yes". [config
|
|
file: enableFreeType]
|
|
|
|
-aa yes | no
|
|
Enable or disable font anti-aliasing. This
|
|
defaults to "yes". [config file: antialias]
|
|
|
|
-aaVector yes | no
|
|
Enable or disable vector anti-aliasing. This
|
|
defaults to "yes". [config file: vectorAntialias]
|
|
|
|
-ps PS-file
|
|
Set the default file name for PostScript output
|
|
(i.e., the name which will appear in the print dia-
|
|
log). This can also be of the form '|command' to
|
|
pipe the PostScript through a command. [config
|
|
file: psFile]
|
|
|
|
-paper size
|
|
Set the paper size to one of "letter", "legal",
|
|
"A4", or "A3". This can also be set to "match",
|
|
which will set the paper size to match the size
|
|
specified in the PDF file. [config file: psPaper-
|
|
Size]
|
|
|
|
-paperw size
|
|
Set the paper width, in points. [config file:
|
|
psPaperSize]
|
|
|
|
-paperh size
|
|
Set the paper height, in points. [config file:
|
|
psPaperSize]
|
|
|
|
-level1
|
|
Generate Level 1 PostScript. The resulting
|
|
PostScript files will be significantly larger (if
|
|
they contain images), but will print on Level 1
|
|
printers. This also converts all images to black
|
|
and white. [config file: psLevel]
|
|
|
|
-enc encoding-name
|
|
Sets the encoding to use for text output. The
|
|
encoding-name must be defined with the unicodeMap
|
|
command (see xpdfrc(5)). This defaults to "Latin1"
|
|
(which is a built-in encoding). [config file: tex-
|
|
tEncoding]
|
|
|
|
-eol unix | dos | mac
|
|
Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text
|
|
output. [config file: textEOL]
|
|
|
|
-opw password
|
|
Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Pro-
|
|
viding this will bypass all security restrictions.
|
|
|
|
-upw password
|
|
Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
|
|
|
-fullscreen
|
|
Open xpdf in full-screen mode, useful for presenta-
|
|
tions.
|
|
|
|
-remote name
|
|
Start/contact xpdf remote server with specified
|
|
name (see the REMOTE SERVER MODE section below).
|
|
|
|
-exec command
|
|
Execute a command (see the COMMANDS section below)
|
|
in an xpdf remote server window (with -remote
|

|
|
|
|
-raise Raise xpdf remote server window (with -remote
|
|

|
|
|
|
-quit Kill xpdf remote server (with -remote only).
|
|
|
|
-cmd Print commands as they're executed (useful for
|
|
debugging). [config file: printCommands]
|
|
|
|
-q Don't print any messages or errors. [config file:
|
|
errQuiet]
|
|
|
|
-cfg config-file
|
|

|
|
tem-wide config file.
|
|
|
|

-h Print usage information. (-help and --help are
|
|
equivalent.)
|
|
|
|
Several other standard X options and resources will work
|
|
as expected:
|
|
|
|
-display display
|
|
[X resource: xpdf.display]
|
|
|
|
-fg color
|
|
(-foreground is equivalent.) [X resource:
|
|
xpdf*Foreground]
|
|
|
|
-bg color
|
|
(-background is equivalent.) [X resource:
|
|
xpdf*Background]
|
|
|
|
-font font
|
|
(-fn is equivalent.) [X resource: xpdf*fontList]
|
|
|
|
The color and font options only affect the user interface
|
|
elements, not the PDF display (the 'paper').
|
|
|
|
The following X resources do not have command line option
|
|
equivalents:
|
|
|
|
xpdf.toolTipEnable
|

|
|
false) the tool-tips on the toolbar buttons.

|
WEB BROWSERS
|
|
If you want to run xpdf automatically from netscape or
|
|
mosaic (and probably other browsers) when you click on a
|
|
link to a PDF file, you need to edit (or create) the files
|
|
.mime.types and .mailcap in your home directory. In
|
|
.mime.types add the line:
|
|
|
|
application/pdf pdf
|
|
|
|
In .mailcap add the lines:
|
|
|
|
# Use xpdf to view PDF files.
|
|
application/pdf; xpdf -q %s
|
|
|
|
Make sure that xpdf is on your executable search path.
|
|
|
|
When you click on a URL link in a PDF file, xpdf will exe-
|
|
cute the command specified by the urlCommand config file
|
|
option, replacing an occurrence of '%s' with the URL. For
|
|
example, to call netscape with the URL, add this line to
|
|
your config file:
|
|
|
|
urlCommand "netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)'"
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
Xpdf's key and mouse bindings are user-configurable, using
|
|
the bind and unbind options in the config file (see
|
|
xpdfrc(5)). The bind command allows you to bind a key or
|
|
mouse button to a sequence of one or more commands.
|
|
|
|

REMOTE SERVER MODE
|
|
Xpdf can be started in remote server mode by specifying a
|
|
server name (in addition to the file name and page num-
|
|
ber). For example:
|
|
|
|
xpdf -remote myServer file.pdf
|
|
|
|
If there is currently no xpdf running in server mode with
|
|
the name 'myServer', a new xpdf window will be opened. If
|
|
another command:
|
|
|
|
xpdf -remote myServer another.pdf 9
|
|
|
|
is issued, a new copy of xpdf will not be started.
|
|
Instead, the first xpdf (the server) will load another.pdf
|
|
and display page nine. If the file name is the same:
|
|
|
|
xpdf -remote myServer another.pdf 4
|
|
|
|
the xpdf server will simply display the specified page.
|
|
|
|
The -raise option tells the server to raise its window; it
|
|
can be specified with or without a file name and page num-
|
|
ber.
|
|
|
|
The -quit option tells the server to close its window and
|
|
exit.
|
|
|
|
EXIT CODES
|
|
The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
|
|
|
|
0 No error.
|

|
|

3 Error related to PDF permissions.
