# Using the QPDF AppImage bundle (for Linux x86_64 systems only)
|
||
|
|
||
|
First advice:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- After downloading, you have to set the executable bit for any AppImage (for security reasons
|
||
|
this is disabled by default): `chmod +x <name-of-application>.AppImage`
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Run the QPDF AppImage with the '--usage' parameter to start learning some useful details about
|
||
|
built-in features of this specific AppImage.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
More tips:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- You can rename the AppImage to any name allowed for file names on Linux. The '.AppImage' suffix
|
||
|
is not required for it to function. It will also work as expected if you invoke it from a
|
||
|
symlink. Using 'qpdf' as its filename or symlink name is OK. However, you may want to continue
|
||
|
using the QPDF package provided by your system's package manager side by side with the AppImage
|
||
|
bundle: in this case it is recommended to use 'qpdf.ai' as a short name for (or as the symlink
|
||
|
name to) the qpdf-<version>.AppImage.
