- bashinator 5y agoWhat do you use to display the pdf? Pandoc?
- dredmorbius 5y agoPandoc is a converter, not a viewer. Typically one would view a PDF with a dedicated viewer (xpdf, zathura, kpdf, Okular, Evince, ...), or by converting to text (pdftotext). less can be extended with hooks (lesspipe) to read a wide range of file types on the console. Some console file managers can also translate PDFs to text (mc, ranger).
