Ghostview -- An X11 user interface for ghostscript.
Ghostview is full function user interface for ghostscript 2.4 and later.
Brief list of features:
- Ghostview parses any known version of Adobe's Document Structuring
Conventions.
- Page size is automatically determined from the Document Structuring
Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments.
- Window size is set to the bounding box for Encapsulated PostScript figures.
- Default page size is Letter and can be changed via Xresources or
application defaults file to A4 (or any other valid size) for our
European friends.
- Scrollbars appear when necessary.
- Page orientation is automatically determined from the Document Structuring
Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments.
- Ability to view at 4 orientations: Portrait, Landscape, Upside-down,
and Seascape (for those who rotate landscape the other direction).
- Ability to restrict rendering to grayscale or monochrome. (Requires
ghostscript 2.6.1.)
- Ability to mark pages for printing, or saving. (Good for people that
printed a 100 page document and lost page 59 due to a printer jam.)
- Can popup zoom windows at printer resolution
(1 display dot = 1 printer dot).
The Ghostview distribution includes a Ghostview Widget that people
are encouraged to use in other programs.
