1. Introduction

1.1. About GGv

GGv [1] is the GNOME PDF and PostScript viewer program.

GGv allows you to view, print, zoom, and isolate pages from PDF and PostScript document files. [2] GGv's main features are antialiasing, drag-and-drop capability for loading files, easy document navigation, and transparent compressed document support.

1.2. Basic Usage

GGv is used to display PDF and PostScript files. To do this, Click the File->Open menu item and choose the file to display. If the page is larger than the window, you can either use the Document->Zoom menus to adjust the zoom factor, or use your keyboard to move around in the page. To go to another page, you can either choose the page to go to from the sidebar, or click Document->Next Page to simply advance to the next page. Choose File->Exit to leave the program, or File->Open to open a new file. More ways of opening files are discussed in >.

Notes

[1]	The name comes from Ghostview, a non-gnome GNU PostScript viewer application on which GGv is based.
[2]	GGv uses Ghostscript to do the actual interpretting and displaying of PostScript and PDF documents. GGv provides an easy-to-use interface to that program.
