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.

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.
