Hi folks.

Does anyone know how to *really* display PDF files using
Ghostscript (for DOS)?

All I get with Ghostscript (5.50) is a barely visible (ie. illegible)
display of each page. I can get to the next page(s) of the PDF
document by pressing the Enter key, but I can't go back (or
select a particular page), nor can I magnify the display to
make it readable. The Ghostscript documentation is quite
useless - it mentions "ps_view.ps", which is supposed to give
a user-interface to Ghostscript (together with ANSI.SYS), but
this doesn't seem to work either (even after editing it's path
names) ...  :-(

Are there any other programs for DOS that can display PDF
files (graphically), apart from Ghostscript and Acrobat V1.0
(this works pretty well, but can't handle newer PDF formats)?

Regards,
Joe.
