I just installed PDF Presenter Console via the Ubuntu Software Center. The centre confirms that the program is installed, but I cannot see it in the installed applications in Dash. So I cannot open the program. Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I am new to Ubuntu.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32bit, on an oldish HP Compaq 6720s

Looking into its .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, it turns out that there is a line in the file:

NoDisplay=true

Which means the application is not meant to be called from the launcher: it is a command line tool. Also, in the file is a line:

Exec=pdf-presenter-console %f

Which means you can run it from a terminal window, by the command:

pdf-presenter-console [file]

Another way to run it is right-click on a .pdf file and choose: "open with"
