pdfopen/pdfclose under Linux

pdfopen/pdfclose under Linux

[Taco Hoekwater]

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
