NAME

       ggv - GNOME PostScript and PDF previewer

SYNOPSIS

       ggv [gnome-std-options] filename [filename2...]

DESCRIPTION

       GNOME Ghostview (ggv) is the GNOME PostScript viewer program.  This PostScript viewer application is based on the (non-GNOME) GNU Ghostview
       application. ggv is a frontend for Ghostscript, an interpreter of PostScript that is able to properly render PostScript documents in a dis-
       play  or a printer. ggv serves as a layer that isolates the user from the cumbersome options and interface of Ghostscript, and, at the same
       time, provides extra features such as panning and persistent user settings. One of the main features of ggv is its antialiasing functional-
       ity.  The  ggv  user interface allows you to drag PostScript files into ggv, or to move the PostScript display by dragging the mouse in the
       pager window or the main window. ggv can display more than one document at a time. ggv provides transparent support  for  compressed  Post-
       Script and PDF files.

NOTES

       If you are unable to load a PostScript file, check the beginning of the file (uncompressed if necessary).  The file might not  be  a  Post-
       Script  file,  or it may have been created on a system that uses a different character for line ending than that used by UNIX (for example,
       an Apple Macintosh).  The simplest solution for the latter is to write a small PERL script that converts the file into the correct format.
