qpdfview CLI

#1 Post by grgc »

Hi, Thanks for the help.

For a variety of reasons, I prefer to use the CLI. I read a lot of pdf's. If I want to open more than one at a time, I have to open separate terminals to support each instance of qpdfview. Is there a way to avoid having multiple terminals open when I am using pdfs in the CLI?

You can use an & to split off the process. Sometimes you have to hit enter a second time but the viewer is separated from the terminal.
