view pdf file through command prompt
 

Hi

RHEL 5.2 is installed on my system. I want to see the contents of a pdf file through command prompt and make the printout of this pdf file by command mode.

with X?

#man xpdf

cupsdoprint
lpr

I do not know if it is possible to see the file's content when you are not in graphical mod (i.e not using X) as pdf files can include images.

But print a pdf file is as easy as issuing "lp <filename>" or "lpr <filename>" in a console or virtual terminal..

To know more see "man lp" ad "man lpr"
