Papers is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and Postscript.  For more general information about Papers please visit our website at http://www.gnome.org/projects/papers/

-?, -h, --help

Prints the command line options.

-p, --page-label=PAGE

Open the document on the page with the specified page label (or page number).

-i, --page-index=NUMBER

-s, --presentation

-l, --find=string

filename(s)...

Specifies the file to open when Papers starts. If this is not specified, Papers will open a blank window. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated by spaces.  Papers also supports handling of remote files.  For example, you can pass the location on the web or load a file from a FTP server, like "ftp://adobe.com/sample.pdf".

These options are primarily intended for use with the GTK+ print preview function. For more information about these options see http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-print-preview-command

-w,  --preview

Run papers as a previewer.

--unlink-temp-file

If papers is run in preview mode, this will unlink the temporary file created by GTK+.

--print-settings %s %f

This sends the full path of the PDF file, f, and the settings of the print dialog, s, to papers.
