Hello Mahesh, > Are you sure?
I never used ggv. Also my debian installation does not contain that pacage in default installation. But sure that in the repo ( Not ggv, its gv ? ) ------------------------------------ debian:~# aptitude search gv | grep -i pdf p gv - PostScript and PDF viewer for X debian:~# ------------------------------------ It says it is for X ( Not done much research, I will check it later ) Can you give a real life example to use that command. The link http://linuxtuts.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-view-pdf-file-from-console-in.htmlitself uses the pdftohtml as I told. Anyway thank you for poitingout new one ( Gv ).
