Displaying Documents
with ghostscript and Acrobat
Document publishing can be very paper-intensive if you send a Groff or LaTeX document to the
printer each time you want to make a change to the document??™s content or formatting. To save
paper and time spent running around, use a print preview program to display your document on
the screen as it will appear on the printed page. The following sections describe the ghostscript
command for displaying PostScript files and the Adobe Acrobat Reader for displaying Portable
Document Format (PDF) files.
Using the ghostscript and gv Commands
To display PostScript or PDF documents in Linux, you can use the ghostscript command. It is
a fairly crude interface, intended to let you step through documents and interpret them one line
at a time.
