This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. **claws-mail-pdf-viewer** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws* *Mail* mailer. This plugin enables rendering of Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript® attachments within the message view of *Claws Mail*. PDF rendering is done using the poppler library. PostScript® rendering requires gs tool for converting to PDF. If gs not available only PDF attachments will be displayed. ## USAGE Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup. For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...” dialog, click on the “Load plugin...” button and select the plugin file, named **pdf\_viewer.so**, and press the “Open” button. ## SEE ALSO [**gs**(1)](/gs/1.md), [**claws-mail**(1)](/claws-mail/1.md), [**claws-mail-extra-plugins**(7)](/claws-mail-extra-plugins/7.md). ## AUTHORS - Salvatore De Paolis \ Wrote the **claws-mail-pdf-viewer** plugin. - Ricardo Mones \ Wrote this manpage for the Debian™ system. ## COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2012-2020 Ricardo Mones This manual page was written for the Debian system (but may be used by others).
