ghostview-1.5: description + notes
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.
