It's sort of "mispackaged". You need to install the zathura-pdf-poppler
package, too. The zathura package description mentions that "plugins" are
used, but is describes Zathura as PDF viewer although by default it cannot
displays PDF, because the pdf-poppler plugin is not installed.
Description :
Zathura is a highly configurable and functional PDF viewer based on the Poppler
rendering library and the GTK+ toolkit. The idea behind zathura is an
application that provides a minimalist and space saving interface as well as
an easy usage that mainly focuses on keyboard interaction.
Zathura uses plugins to open different file formats, for instance:
* zathura-pdf-poppler to open PDF files,
* zathura-ps to open PostScript files,
* zathura-djvu to open DjVu files.
All of these are available in Fedora.
I also found configuration confusing earlier, but the following helped
me get there (as per my notes on my zathurarc
in my $HOME/.config/zathura/zathurarc
#
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/zathurarc.5.html
#
# see also
http://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/configuration/
# and
http://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/options/
# as well as
http://pwmt.org/projects/girara/options/
Example:
set window-height 1150
set window-width 887
set adjust-open width
map <Home> goto top
map <End> goto bottom
map <PageUp> scroll full-up
map <PageDown> scroll full-down
map <BackSpace> scroll full-up
map r rotate rotate-cw
map c rotate rotate-ccw
--=
One thing I was not able to find is how to get a NextPage
key-binding using the PageDown which does not also impact the Spacebar
(which by default only pages down the screen, which I would like to
keep).
HTH,
Ranjan
