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. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: gnome-std-optionStandard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: filename The name of the file to be previewed. One or more filenames may be specified on the command-line. ggv will create a sepa- rate window for each document. The specified file should be either a PostScript or PDF file. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Previewing the PostScript file "sample.ps" example% ggv sample.ps EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/ggv Executable for GNOME PostScript and PDF previewer ATTRIBUTES

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.
