👑 OKULAR(1) — the Okular User's Manual, but make it a group chat

🎀 OKULAR OPTIONS 🎀

• -p, --page _number`_ — opens a page with a given number in the document. you want page _number_? you get page _number_. periodt 📄
• --presentation — starts the document in presentation mode. main character energy, projector on, lights off 🎤
• --print — starts with the print dialog. 🖨️
• --print-and-exit — starts with the print dialog and exits after printing. it prints and it leaves, no lingering, iconic 🚪💨
• --unique — unique instance control. 👑
• --noraise — allows you to prevent the Okular window from raising after the start. lowkey it just doesn't pop up in your face 🙈
• --find _string_ — tries to find and highlight a given _string_ in the document. ⚠️ only works if just one document is given as an argument of the okular command. one doc only, bestie, that's the rule 🔍
• --editor-cmd _string_ — sets the external editor command. 🖊️ you cannot set the editor command in an already running Okular instance. also please note that --unique is not supported when setting the editor command at the commandline. no cap, that combo does not work 💀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• _URL_ — an address of the document to be opened. for PDF, can be given as document_name#named_destination where named_destination is a particular named destination embedded in the document. yes the # thing is real and yes it's a slay ✨
