14 zathura displays the given files. If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given
15 as file name, the content will be read from the standard input. If no
16 files are given, an empty zathura instance launches.
17
19 -e,--reparent=xid
20 Reparents to window specified by xid
21 -c,--config-dir=path
23 Path to the config directory
24 -d,--data-dir=path
26 Path to the data directory
27 -p,--plugins-dir=path
29 Path to the directory containing plugins
30 -w,--password=password
32 The documents password. If multiple documents are opened at
33 once, the password will be used for the first one and zathura
34 will ask for the passwords of the remaining files if needed.
35 -P,--page=number
37 Opens the document at the given page number. Pages are numbered
38 starting with 1, and negative numbers indicate page numbers
39 starting from the end of the document, -1 being the last page.
40 -l,--log-level=level
42 Set log level (debug, info, warning, error)
43 -x,--synctex-editor-command=command
45 Set the synctex editor command. Overrides the synctex-edi‐
46 tor-command setting.
47 --synctex-forward=input
49 Jump to the given position. The switch expects the same format
50 as specified for synctex's view -i. If no instance is running
51 for the specified document, a new instance will be launched
52 (only if --synctex-pid is not specified).
53 --synctex-pid=pid
55 Instead of looking for an instance having the correct file
56 opened, try only the instance with the given PID. Note that if
57 the given PID does not have the correct file open or does not
58 exist, no new instance will be spanned.
59 --fork Fork into background
61 --version
63 Display version string and exit
64 --help Display help and exit
66
68 ZATHURA_PLUGINS_PATH

246 The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by
247 modifying the zathurarc file (default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathu‐
248 rarc). For a detailed description please consult zathurarc(5).
249
251 Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by
252 zathura, To enable synctex forward synchronization, please look at the
253 --synctex-forward and --synctex-editor options. zathura will also emit
254 a signal via the D-Bus interface. To support synctex backwards synchro‐
255 nization, zathura provides a D-Bus interface that can be called by the
256 editor. For convince zathura also knows how to parse the output of the
257 synctex view command. It is enough to pass the arguments to synctex
258 view's -i option to zathura via --synctex-forward and zathura will pass
259 the information to the correct instance.
260 For gvim forward and backwards synchronization support can be set up as
262 follows: First add the following to the vim configuration:
263 function! Synctex()
265 execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf
266 redraw!
267 endfunction
268 map <C-enter> :call Synctex()<cr>
269 Then launch zathura with
271 zathura -x "gvim --servername vim -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $file
273 Some editors support zathura as viewer out of the box:
275 · LaTeXTools for SublimeText (‐
277 https://latextools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-view‐
278 ers/#zathura)
279 · LaTeX for Atom (https://atom.io/packages/latex)
281
283 If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with
284 large documents. In this case zathura might crash or pages cannot be
285 rendered properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue. The
286 same issue may appear, if overlay-scrollbar is enabled in GTK_MODULES.
