[ILUG-Cochin.org] terminal mode pdf reader

[unni krishnan]

Hello Mahesh,

> Are you sure?

  I never used ggv. Also my debian installation does not contain that pacage
in default installation. But sure that in the repo ( Not ggv, its gv ? )

------------------------------------
debian:~# aptitude search gv | grep -i pdf
p   gv                              - PostScript and PDF viewer for
X
debian:~#
------------------------------------

  It says it is for X ( Not done much research, I will check it later )

  Can you give a real life example to use that command.

The link
http://linuxtuts.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-view-pdf-file-from-console-in.htmlitself
uses the pdftohtml as I told.

Anyway thank you for poitingout new one ( Gv ).
