KGhostview is the PostScript viewer for the K Desktop Environment. It is a port of Tim Theisen's Ghostview program which is used to view documents prepared in Adobe's PostScript page description language. PostScript is the major page description language for printing on UNIX systems and this application is used to preview material intended for printing or for reading documents online.
KGhostview is just a front end to Alladin's Ghostcript package which renders the documents. You can use the viewer with all recent versions of Ghostscript. Newer versions offer much improved performance which you can take advantage of with KGhostview. It future, it will be possible to view Portable Document Format files.
If a document does not conform to the Adobe document structuring convention the functionality of the PostScript viewer is limited. If there is no table of contents, skipping around the document and marking pages is not possible.
