# gpdf(1)

A GNOME Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer

## NAME

gpdf - A GNOME Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer

## SYNOPSIS

**gpdf** \[*options*\] *files*...

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **gpdf** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**gpdf** is a graphical viewer for documents in the Portable Document Format. (These are sometimes called \`Acrobat' files after the name of Adobe's PDF software.)

gpdf is based on Xpdf, which is also available in Debian, but it is integrated into the GNOME Desktop environment while the original Xpdf is not.
