Open a document

You can open a document using any one of the following ways:

  • Double-click on the file in Files or your file manager.

    Double clicking PDF, PostScript, .djvu, .dvi and Comic Book Archive files opens them in Document Viewer by default.

  • Right-click on a file icon in Files and click Open With ▸ Document Viewer.

If a Document Viewer window is already open you can:

  • Drag a file into the window from Files. The new file will open in a new window.

  • Press the File options button in the top-right corner of the window, then select Open…. In the Open Document dialog, choose the file which you wish to open, and click Open. The file will open in a new window.
