       with the following commands:

       Open...
              Open a new PDF file via a file requester.

       Open in new window...
              Create  a  new window and open a new PDF file via a
              file requester.

       Reload Reload the current PDF file.  Note that  Xpdf  will
              reload  the file automatically (on a page change or
              redraw) if it has changed since it was last loaded.

       Save as...
              Save the current file via a file requester.

       Rotate counterclockwise

       Rotate clockwise
              Rotate  the  page  90  degrees  clockwise.  The two
              rotate commands  are  intended  primarily  for  PDF
              files  where the rotation isn't correctly specified

              in the file, but they're  also  useful  if  your  X
              server doesn't support font rotation.

       Close  Close the current window.  If this is the only open
              window, the document is closed, but the  window  is
              left  open  (i.e.,  this  menu  command  won't quit
              xpdf).

       Quit   Quit xpdf.


   Text selection
       Dragging the mouse with the left  button  held  down  will
       highlight  an  arbitrary  rectangle.  Any text inside this
       rectangle will be copied to the X selection buffer.


   Links
       Clicking on a hyperlink will jump to the  link's  destina-
       tion.   A link to another PDF document will make xpdf load
       that document.  A 'launch' link to an  executable  program
       will  display a dialog, and if you click 'ok', execute the
       program.  URL links call an external command (see the  WEB
       BROWSERS section below).


   Panning
       Dragging  the  mouse with the middle button held down pans
       the window.

WEB BROWSERS
       If you want to run xpdf  automatically  from  netscape  or
       mosaic  (and  probably other browsers) when you click on a
       link to a PDF file, you need to edit (or create) the files
       .mime.types  and  .mailcap  in  your  home  directory.  In
       .mime.types add the line:

              application/pdf pdf

       In .mailcap add the lines:



                         05 December 2002                       7





xpdf(1)                                                   xpdf(1)


              # Use xpdf to view PDF files.
              application/pdf; xpdf -q %s

       Make sure that xpdf is on your executable search path.

       When you click on a URL link in a PDF file, xpdf will exe-
       cute  the  command specified by the urlCommand config file
       option, replacing an occurrence of '%s' with the URL.  For
       example,  to  call netscape with the URL, add this line to
       your config file:

              urlCommand "netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)'"

REMOTE SERVER MODE
       Xpdf can be started in remote server mode by specifying  a
       server  name  (in  addition to the file name and page num-
       ber).  For example:

              xpdf -remote myServer file.pdf

       If there is currently no xpdf running in server mode  with
       the name 'myServer', a new xpdf window will be opened.  If
       another command:

              xpdf -remote myServer another.pdf 9

       is issued, a  new  copy  of  xpdf  will  not  be  started.
       Instead, the first xpdf (the server) will load another.pdf
       and display page nine.  If the file name is the same:

              xpdf -remote myServer another.pdf 4

       the xpdf server will simply display the specified page.

       The -raise option tells the server to raise its window; it
       can be specified with or without a file name and page num-
       ber.

       The -quit option tells the server to close its window  and
       exit.

EXIT CODES
       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.

       3      Error related to PDF permissions.

       99     Other error.
