Thanks, I reinstalled a later version of Textadept. I notice that it now opens the pdf product but in Xreader, the default on my machine, and that's no real problem, but now that I have got it working I can experiment a bit. Interesting, though, that the changes I made at your suggestion in l-pdfview.lua are not effective (I would have expected it to be okular). But I guess there is no harm done.
