acroread - Adobe Acrobat Reader
acroread [ options ] [file ... ]
acroread is a shell script that launches the Adobe Acrobat Reader
program. The program's features are fully documented in The Acrobat
Help, an on-line prgram guide which is available from the product's Help
menu.
Acrobat Reader is part of the Adobe Acrobat family of software that lets
you view, distribute, print, and save documents in Portable Document
Format (PDF)-regardless of the computer, operating system, fonts, or
application used to create the original file. PDF files retain all the
formatting, fonts, and graphics of the original document, and virtually
any document can be converted into PDF.
-display host:display
This option specifies the host and display to use.
-geometry [<width>x<height>][{+|-}<x offset>{+|-}<y offset>]
Size and/or location of the document windows.
-help
Prints a summary of the common command-line options.
-helpall
Prints a summary of all command-line options.
-iconic
Launches acroread in an iconic state on the desktop.
-name application name
Specifies the name under which resources for the application should
be found.
-setenv var=value
Tells the main application to perform the equivalent of C-shell
setenv var value.
-tempFile
Indicates files listed on the command line are temporary files and
should not be put in the recent file list. The document title will
be the title in the pdf document, instead of the filename.
-tempFileTitle title
Same as -tempFile, except the title is specified.

-toPostScript [options] pdf_file ... [ps_dir]
-toPostScript [options] -pairs pdf_file_1 ps_file_1 ...
-toPostScript [options]
Convert PDF files to PostScript.
In the first form, if the last file specified is a directory, then
all preceding files will be converted to PostScript and the
generated PostScript files will be placed into ps_dir. If a
directory is not specified, then each PostScript file will be placed
in the same directory as its corresponding original PDF files.
In the second form, the file list contains pairs, each consisting of
a PDF filename and a corresponding PostScript filename.
The third form allows acroread to be used as a filter, reading a PDF
file from standard input and writing the PostScript file to standard
output.
The following are valid options for the conversion of PDF to
PostScript:
-binary
emit binary PostScript where possible
-end <int>
identify the last page in the document to be converted (default
is the last page of the document)
-fast
emit PostScript such that all fonts are emitted once at the
beginning of the document. This results in faster transmission
times and smaller PostScript documents but requires more
PostScript printer VM.
-landscape
rotate the pages to print landscape
-reverse
reverse the page order of the output
-odd emit only odd-numbered pages
-even
emit only even-numbered pages
-annotsOff
don't print annotations

-scale <int>
scale the pages according to the scale factor (default is 100
percent)
-shrink
scale the pages to fit the page size
-size <pagesize>
set the page size. The following page sizes are recognized:
letter - letter size paper
tabloid - tabloid size paper
ledger - ledger size paper
legal - legal size paper
executive - executive size paper
a3 - standard A3 size
a4 - standard A4 size
a5 - standard A5 size
b4 - standard B4 size
b5 - standard B5 size
wxh - custom size paper; w and h are in points
-start <int>
identify the first page in the document to be converted
(default is the first page of the document)
Use of this option requires X and Display PostScript. If they are
not available locally, a suitable machine may be specified with the
-display option.
-useFrontEndProgram
If the application is already running on this machine, displaying on
this display, and has the same application name (specified by the
-name option). Then a message is sent to the application telling it
to open any files specified on the command line. If the application
is not already running, the application starts normally.
+useFrontEndProgram
The application starts normally without checking if it is already
running.
