Install pdf reader in Ubuntu

Install pdf reader in Ubuntu

There are a variety of PDF readers available in Ubuntu, such as Adobe Reader and xpdf. The following describes how to install Adobe Reader and xpdf.

1) install Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader can be installed manually or automatically on the Internet. However, if it is installed successfully, it does not automatically download the Language Pack and does not display it when it is displayed in Chinese, it prompts you to download the language package on the official website. The automatic installation method is quite simple and you only need to download the language package.

Sudo apt-Get install multicast read

Using this method, I installed Adobe Reader 9.3, but I haven't found the Chinese package for a few hours. I have no choice but to leave, we can see that there is a Chinese version of Adobe Reader for Linux 7 on the Internet, which is:

There is also a reader version 8, the software source in the huajun Software Park, is:

I downloaded it, put it in the FTP directory set up on the host, switch it to the Ubuntu terminal under the virtual machine, and use ftp to download it to Ubuntu. By the way, this is critical, when using FTP, you must switch the mode to the binary mode for download. Otherwise, the files cannot be decompressed In ubuntu. After downloading, decompress the files and run the tar command on the command line to decompress the files, set the directory ~ /Under adobereader, start installation below

CD adobereader
./Install (hey, the following will output some options for you to choose the installation directory and so on)

After installation, you can use it. The default installation directory of the program is/opt/Adobe/reader8/bin. The reader name is external read.

Next, try to open a Chinese document using external read. Should it be displayed normally?

But in this case, external read can only be opened in the/opt/Adobe/reader8/bin directory. How can I configure it to enable it in other directories? You can edit the/etc/profile file and add a line to the file:

Export Path = $ path:/opt/Adobe/reader8/bin

We can also add the volume read to the Panel and save the following content to the file named volume read. Desktop:
[Desktop entry]
> Encoding = UTF-8]
Exec =/opt/Adobe/reader8/bin/volume read
Icon =/opt/Adobe/reader8/resources/icons/adobereader.png
Terminal = false
Type = Application
Categories = application; office;
Save the file to the/usr/share/applications directory. After the system is restarted, the configuration takes effect.

If you want to use consumer reader in terminal, you can use consumer read ***. PDF

2) Installation of xpdf
The installation of xpdf is the simplest. We only need three files, one is xpdf, and the other two are Chinese language packs, xpdf-Chinese-simplified and xpdf-Chinese-traditional, which can be easily completed with only three commands
Sudo apt-Get install xpdf
Sudo apt-Get install xpdf-Chinese-Simplified
Sudo apt-Get install xpdf-Chinese-traditional
