NAME¶
qpdfview - tabbed PDF viewerSYNOPSIS¶
qpdfview [options] [file(s)[#page[#top]]]DESCRIPTION¶
qpdfview is a simple document viewer for PDF documents. It uses the poppler library for rendering.OPTIONS¶
- --unique
- If an instance of qpdfview is started with this option, any files that are opened using this option afterwards, are opened as tabs in this same window. If a file is already opened in a tab of the respective window, it is merely reloaded using this option.
- [file(s)[#page[#top]]]
- Specifies the files to open when qpdfview starts. If this is not specified, qpdfview will open a blank window. Multiple files can be loaded in separate tabs if the file names are separated by spaces. The optional parameter #page opens the file at the given page. The optional parameter #top can take values between 0 and 1 and opens the page with the given position aligned to the top of the tab. (See examples.)
CONFIGURATION FILE¶
qpdfview uses a configuration file usually located at"~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf",
which allows configuration of the toolbars and thumbnails.
fileToolBar: openInNewTab, refresh (open,
saveCopy, print)
editToolBar: currentPage, numberOfPages, previousPage, nextPage (firstPage,
lastPage, jumpToPage, search)
viewToolBar: scaleFactor, zoomIn, zoomOut (onePage, twoPages, oneColumn,
twoColumns, fitToPage, fitToPageWidth, doNotScale, rotateLeft, rotateRight,
fullscreen, presentation)
The order of the items in the list defines the order of the items in the
toolbar. (See examples.)
