MuPDF is a free and open-source software framework written in C that implements a PDF, XPS, and EPUB parsing and rendering engine. In Gentoo, several packages like app-text/llpp or app-text/zathura-pdf-mupdf use it internally for PDF rendering.

Users can install MuPDF with the following command:

root #emerge --ask app-text/mupdf

The app-text/mupdf package provides the following binaries:

  • mupdf
  • mupdf-gl
  • mupdf-x11
  • mupdf-x11-curl
  • mutool: all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files (draw, clean, extract, info, create, pages, poster, show, run JavaScript, convert, merge)
