# Pidif PDF Viewer
A light PDF Viewer, using Poppler, GTK 4 and Rust. Pidif was built especially for touch-only devices (phones, e-readers and tablet), where screen real estate is scarce, but can be used on desktop too.
## Usage
To maintain a clean UI, Pidif comes only with an "open file" button. Navigating between the pages of a document is done by clicking its left and right halfs. Toggling the bottom and header bar ("fullscreen mode") is done by clicking anywhere in the top 20% of the document.
## Installation
### Distribution packages
- Arch Linux: [pidif](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pidif) AUR
- Alpine Linux ( & PostmarketOS): [pidif](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=pidif&branch=edge&repo=&arch=x86_64&maintainer=) testing
### Compiling manually
- Install the dev packages of `gtk-4`, `cairo`, and `poppler`.
- `git clone` the repository
- Run `cargo build --release`
