(These are alsosometimes also called \'Acrobat' files, from the name of Adobe's PDFsoftware.)  Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, andOS/2..PPTo run xpdf, simply type:.PP.RSxpdf file.pdf.RE.PPwhere.I file.pdfis your PDF file.  The file name can be followed by a numberspecifying the page which should be displayed first, e.g.:.PP.RSxpdf file.pdf 18.RE.PPYou can also give a named destination, prefixed with \'+' in place ofthe page number.  (This is only useful with PDF files that providenamed destination targets.).PPYou can also start xpdf without opening any files:.PP.RSxpdf.RE.SH CONFIGURATION FILEXpdf reads a configuration file at startup.  It first tries to findthe user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc.  If that doesn't exist, itlooks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc(but this location can be changed when xpdf is built).  See the.BR xpdfrc (5)man page for details..SH OPTIONSMany of the following options can be set with configuration filecommands or X resources.  These are listed in square brackets with thedescription of the corresponding command line option..TP.BI \-g " geometry"Set the initial window geometry..RB ( \-geometryis equivalent.).RB "[X resource: " xpdf.geometry ].TP.BI \-title " title"Set the window title.  By default, the title will be "xpdf: foo.pdf"..RB "[X resource: " xpdf.title ].TP.B \-cmapInstall a private colormap.  This is ignored on TrueColor visuals..RB "[X resource: " xpdf.installCmap ].TP.BI \-rgb " number"Set the size of largest RGB cube xpdf will try to allocate.  Thedefault is 5 (for a 5x5x5 cube); set to a smaller number to conservecolor table entries.  This is ignored with private colormaps and onTrueColor visuals..RB "[X resource: " xpdf.rgbCubeSize ].TP.B \-rvSet reverse video mode.  This reverses the colors of everything exceptimages.  It may not always produce great results for PDF files whichdo weird things with color.  This also causes the paper color todefault to black..RB "[X resource: " xpdf.reverseVideo ].TP.BI \-papercolor " color"Set the "paper color", i.e., the background of the page display.  Thiswill not work too well with PDF files that do things like filling inwhite behind the text..RB "[X resource: " xpdf.paperColor ].TP.BI \-mattecolor " color"Set the matte color, i.e., the color used for background outside theactual page area.  (There is a separate setting,xpdf.fullScreenMatteColor, for full-screen mode.).RB "[X resource: " xpdf.matteColor ].TP.BI \-z " zoom"Set the initial zoom factor.  A number specifies a zoom percentage,where 100 means 72 dpi.You may also specify \'page', to fit the pageto the window size, or \'width', to fit the page width to the windowwidth..RB "[config file: " initialZoom "; or X resource: " xpdf.initialZoom ].TP.B \-contStart in continuous view mode, i.e., with one vertical scroll bar forthe whole document..RB "[config file: " continuousView ].TP.BI \-t1lib " yes | no"Enable or disable t1lib (a Type 1 font rasterizer).  This defaults to"yes"..RB "[config file: " enableT1lib ].TP.BI \-freetype " yes | no"Enable or disable FreeType (a TrueType / Type 1 font rasterizer).This defaults to "yes"..RB "[config file: " enableFreeType ].TP.BI \-aa " yes | no"Enable or disable font anti-aliasing.  This defaults to "yes"..RB "[config file: " antialias ].TP.BI \-aaVector " yes | no"Enable or disable vector anti-aliasing.  This defaults to "yes"..RB "[config file: " vectorAntialias ].TP.BI \-ps " PS-file"Set the default file name for PostScript output (i.e., the name whichwill appear in the print dialog).  This can also be of the form\'|command' to pipe the PostScript through a command..RB "[config file: " psFile ].TP.BI \-paper " size"Set the paper size to one of "letter", "legal", "A4", or "A3".  Thiscan also be set to "match", which will set the paper size to match thesize specified in the PDF file..RB "[config file: " psPaperSize ].TP.BI \-paperw " size"Set the paper width, in points..RB "[config file: " psPaperSize ].TP.BI \-paperh " size"Set the paper height, in points..RB "[config file: " psPaperSize ].TP.B \-level1Generate Level 1 PostScript.  The resulting PostScript files will besignificantly larger (if they contain images), but will print on Level1 printers.  This also converts all images to black and white..RB "[config file: " psLevel ].TP.BI \-enc " encoding-name"Sets the encoding to use for text output.  The.I encoding\-namemust be defined with the unicodeMap command (see.BR xpdfrc (5)).This defaults to "Latin1" (which is a built-in encoding)..RB "[config file: " textEncoding ].TP.BI \-eol " unix | dos | mac"Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text output..RB "[config file: " textEOL ].TP.BI \-opw " password"Specify the owner password for the PDF file.  Providing this willbypass all security restrictions..TP.BI \-upw " password"Specify the user password for the PDF file..TP.B \-fullscreenOpen xpdf in full-screen mode, useful for presentations..TP.BI \-remote " name"Start/contact xpdf remote server with specified name (see the.B "REMOTE SERVER MODE"section below)..TP.BI \-exec " command"Execute a command (see the.B COMMANDSsection below) in an xpdf remote server window (with -remote only)..TP.B \-reloadReload xpdf remote server window (with -remote only)..TP.B \-raiseRaise xpdf remote server window (with -remote only)..TP.B \-quitKill xpdf remote server (with -remote only)..TP.B \-cmdPrint commands as they're executed (useful for debugging)..RB "[config file: " printCommands ].TP.B \-qDon't print any messages or errors..RB "[config file: " errQuiet ].TP.BI \-cfg " config-file"Read.I config-filein place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file..TP.B \-vPrint copyright and version information..TP.B \-hPrint usage information..RB ( \-helpand.B \-\-helpare equivalent.).PPSeveral other standard X options and resources will work as expected:.TP.BI \-display " display".RB "[X resource: " xpdf.display ].TP.BI \-fg " color".RB ( \-foregroundis equivalent.).RB "[X resource: " xpdf*Foreground ].TP.BI \-bg " color".RB ( \-backgroundis equivalent.).RB "[X resource: " xpdf*Background ].TP.BI \-font " font".RB ( \-fnis equivalent.).RB "[X resource: " xpdf*fontList ].PPThe color and font options only affect the user interface elements,not the PDF display (the \'paper')..PPThe following X resources do not have command line option equivalents:.TP.B xpdf.toolTipEnableEnables (if set to true) or disables (if set to false) the tool-tipson the toolbar buttons..TP.B xpdf.fullScreenMatteColorSets the matte color to be used in full-screen mode.
