DESCRIPTION

   evince

   Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple  and  single
   page  document  formats  like  PDF  and  Postscript.   For more general
   information   about   Evince    please    visit    our    website    at
   http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/

OPTIONS

   -?, -h, --help
          Prints the command line options.

   -p, --page-label=PAGE
          Open  the document on the page with the specified page label (or
          page number).

   -i, --page-index=NUMBER
          Open the document on the page  with  the  specified  page  index
          (this is the exact page number, not a page label).

   -n, --named-dest=DEST
          Open the document on the specified named destination.

   -f, --fullscreen
          Run evince in fullscreen mode.

   -s, --presentation
          Run evince in presentation mode.

   -l, --find=string
          You  can  pass  a word or phrase here. If it exists, evince will
          display the document and the first match.

   filename(s)...
          Specifies the file to open when Evince starts. If  this  is  not
          specified,  Evince  will open a blank window. Multiple files can
          be loaded if they are separated by spaces.  Evince also supports
          handling  of  remote  files.   For  example,  you  can  pass the
          location on the web or load a  file  from  a  FTP  server,  like
          "ftp://adobe.com/sample.pdf".

Print preview options

   These  options  are  primarily  intended  for  use  with the GTK+ print
   preview  function.  For  more  information  about  these  options   see
   http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-
   print-preview-command

   -w, --preview
          Run evince as a previewer.

   --unlink-temp-file
          If evince is run in preview mode, this will unlink the temporary
          file created by GTK+.

   --print-settings %s %f
          This sends the full path of the PDF file, f, and the settings of
          the print dialog, s, to evince.
