Using Adobe Acrobat Reader
The Portable Document Format (PDF) provides a way of storing documents as they would appear
in print. With Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can view PDF files in a very friendly way. Adobe Acrobat
makes it easy to move around within a PDF file. A PDF file may include hyperlinks, a table of contents,
graphics, and a variety of type fonts.
You can get Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux from the Adobe Web site (www.adobe.com/products/
acrobat/readstep2.html). Select Linux as the platform from that site. A recent version of the
Adobe Acrobat Reader is available in RPM format for Fedora from Guru Labs (www.gurulabs
.com/downloads.html).
After you install Adobe Acrobat Reader, type the following command to start the program:
$ acroread
Choose File???Open, and then select the name of a PDF file you want to display. Figure 21-12
shows an example of a PDF file viewed in Adobe Acrobat.
Adobe Acrobat has a lot of nice features. For example, you can display a list of bookmarks alongside
the document and click a bookmark to take you to a particular page. You can also display
thumbnails of the pages to quickly scroll through and select a page.
Using the menu bar or buttons, you can page through the PDF document, zoom in and out, go to
the beginning or end of the document, and display different views of the document (as well as display
bookmarks and page thumbnails).
