pdfopen/pdfclose under Linux
Hi all, I've just uploaded a beta version of Fabrice Popineau's pdfclose/ pdfopen tools ported to X11 (Linux). I've tested this with Acrobat Reader 5.0.10 & Linux & X.org, but the code is reasonably generic, I believe. I hope that while waiting for the upcoming direct texexec support, somebody is willing to do testing under other AR/Os/X configurations. You can fetch it from: http://tex.aanhet.net/utils/pdfopen-0.2.tar.gz (Mandrake 10.1/i386 binaries are included) From the README: --------------------------------------------------------------- Both commands have only one meaningful argument: pdfclose --file <pdfname> Closes an existing window with the name <pdfname> pdfopen --file <pdfname> Opens a window with the name <pdfname> (starting a reader if necesary), or it reloads <pdfname> if it was already open. Note: <pdfname> is the name of the X window, not a filename. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings, Taco

that's because pdfopen/close are already part of fptex fo rsome time; texexec --pdf --autopdf somefile will use them when present Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
