wiipdf (2014)

wiipdf is a tiny tool for Linux (and all other operating systems on which cwiid runs) which calls xpdf and goes one page forward/backward as soon as you press A or B on your wiimote. Each press will be signalled by a short rumble of your wiimote. Pressing the home button ends the presentation.

I have been inspired to write this program by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann and Dag Wieers’s presentation on FrOSCon 2008 :-).

Installation

You need cwiid from http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/. After installing this library, you can just compile and install wiipdf using:

make && sudo make install
