Display these documents with Okular, KDE’s standard document display.

Apart from PDF les, you can display a multitude of le formats with Okular, such as
PostScript, dierent image formats, the OpenDocument Format (ODF), some eBook

document. Consequently, it is not possible to print them or forward them to other
users.
