Chapter 1. Introduction

KGhostView displays and prints PostScript® (.ps, .eps) and Portable Document Format (.pdf) files. It is a port to KDE of Tim Theisen's Ghostview program which uses Alladin Ghostscript to view documents prepared in Adobe®'s PostScript® page description language. PostScript® is the major page description language for printing on Unix-like systems and this application can be used to preview material intended for printing or for reading documents online.

You can use KGhostView with all recent versions of Ghostscript. Newer versions offer much improved performance which you can take advantage of with KGhostView.

If a document does not conform to the Adobe® document structuring convention the functionality of the viewer is limited. For example, if there is no table of contents, skipping around the document and marking pages is not possible.
