Which PDF viewer can take input from stdin?
Hi: The output of my program goes to stdout in PDF format, and I would like to be able to see that output with a PDF viewer. So far, neither kpdf nor acroread will do that. Any hints? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

Unfortunately, doing anything, like changing paper size, makes the document disappear. Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

You're welcome. Apparently you wish to do more than view the document.
In that case why not create a file from the output and then use acroread or
some other program to view/manipulate/diddle with the output.

acroread
Or, to maintain the pipe: your program | tee filename.pdf | whatever acroread filename.pdf - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCr20ZtTMYHG2NR9URApLaAJ4tBEuXEPziUOQLIJAJdpU7g/rOEwCgjDWG 9qPdPMVEMUD3vFQb7UPozNc= =qKUe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
