fbpdf (PDF viewer for the Linux framebuffer) fbpdf is a framebuffer pdf/djvu file viewer. It can use either mupdf or poppler libraries for rendering pdf files and it uses the djvulibre library for rendering djvu files. Optional dependency: mupdf. By default, the fbpdf2 (poppler support) executable is built, along with fbdjvu. If you want mupdf support, install mupdf before running this build and it will be auto-detected. The executable that uses mupdf will be called fbpdf. mupdf's rendering is usually faster and better-looking than poppler's. If you have mupdf installed, but want to build fbpdf without it, export MUPDF=no in the script's environment. This build includes a patch that makes the keyboard controls behave more like other PDF readers. Mainly, it lets you page through the entire document with the space bar (and backspace to go back), rather than requiring separate keystrokes for "scroll within current page" and "go to next page". If you prefer the original behaviour, set PRISTINE=yes in the script's environment.
