.SH "NAME"
\fBpdfcube\fP - a PDF presentation viewer with 3D effects.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 24
\fBpdfcube\fP \fIFILE\fP [\fB--help\fP] [\fB--bgcolor\fP \fIf:f:f\fP] [\fB--top-color\fP \fIf:f:f\fP] [\fB--no-fullscreen\fP]  
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBpdfcube\fP(1) is a tiny (about 30KiB) viewer for Portable Document
Format (PDF) files that adds spinning cube transition effect to your
PDF presentation files. It can also zoom on 5 predefined areas with a
smooth zooming effect. This program is suited only for landscape PDF
files, mostly presentations done with LaTeX (Beamer, Prosper, etc.) or
OpenOffice.org Impress.
.PP
\fBpdfcube\fP(1) is an open source, low-effort, spare-time, money-less
project. Your help is welcome!

.SH "BUGS"
\fBpdfcube\fP(1) can view only PDF files with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This
is a known "feature": the program is oriented to view presentations on
a projected screen.
.PP
On some systems color values are locale dependent (e.g. you may have
to write 0,6 instead of 0.6)
