NAME

       pdfcube - a PDF presentation viewer with 3D effects.

SYNOPSIS

       pdfcube FILE [--help] [--bgcolor f:f:f] [--top-color f:f:f] [--no-fullscreen]

DESCRIPTION

       pdfcube(1)  is  a  tiny (about 30KiB) viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files that adds spinning cube transition effect to your PDF
       presentation files. It can also zoom on 5 predefined areas with a smooth zooming effect. This program is  suited  only  for  landscape  PDF
       files, mostly presentations done with LaTeX (Beamer, Prosper, etc.) or OpenOffice.org Impress.

       pdfcube(1) is an open source, low-effort, spare-time, money-less project. Your help is welcome!

BUGS

       pdfcube(1)  can	view only PDF files with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is a known "feature": the program is oriented to view presentations on a
       projected screen.

       On some systems color values are locale dependent (e.g. you may have to write 0,6 instead of 0.6)

       See http://code.100allora.it/pdfcube/report/ for the bugtracker of pdfcube(1) (you should obtain an account contacting the  author  first).
       Or please report any bug to the author.
