MuPDF Droplet

(c) 2017-2019 by Adrian Zaugg under GPLv2


MuPDF Droplet is a small GUI application for macOS to easily open a file with 
the PDF-Viewer MuPDF. MuPDF Droplet is a graphical frontend to MuPDF.

Just drop a PDF file on MuPDF Droplet's application icon or into its application 
window. This will call mupdf and load the dropped file with it.


Requirements

You need to install mupdf, mupdf-gl or mupdf-x11 command line binary and an X server
like X-Quartz for MuPDF Droplet to work. You can install mupdf from MacPorts [1], 
Homebrew [2], Fink [3] or source [4]. X-Quartz is available as a binary application 
bundle [5]. 


Installation

Just copy the MuPDF Droplet application found in the distribution DMG to your 
Application folder.


Configuration

MuPDF Droplet doesn't need to be configured.


Uninstallation

Drag MuPDF Droplet to your trash and empty it. MuPDF Droplet does not write any
files to your computer's disk.


Troubleshooting

In case MuPDF Droplet can't find the version of mupdf command line programm you have 
installed, please check first whether the executable mupdf, mupdf-gl resp. mupdf-x11 is
in your PATH and the executable bit is really set. If your version has a different name
or still can't be found, you can open the MuPDF Droplet's shell script in a text editor
and set the variable MUPDF in the beginning of the script pointing to your binary's 
location including its name. Edit Line 7 and set the variable MUPDF accordingly.
For example:
	  MUPDF="/usr/local/bin/mupdf-my-special-version"
You find the bash script by right-clicking MuPDF Droplet.app, chose "Show Package 
Contents" and navigate to "Contents/Resources". There you find it, it's called "script".
