Viewing PDF Files

Documents that need to be shared or printed across platforms can be saved as PDF (Portable Document Format) files, for example, in the OpenOffice.org suite. openSUSE ships with several PDF viewers, such as KPDF and Adobe* Acrobat* Reader.

To access KPDF or Adobe* Acrobat* Reader:

  1. Click the main menu button.

  2. Click Office > Document Viewer. Select Acrobat Reader or KPDF to open the PDF viewer of your choice. Alternatively, press Alt+F2 and enter acroread or kpdf.

  3. To view a PDF file, click File > Open. Locate the desired PDF file and click Open.

  4. Navigate through the documents by using the navigation icons at the top or bottom of the window. If your PDF document provides bookmarks, you can access them in the left panel of the viewer.
