PdfXChange Viewer (slightly related to "Overriding pdfview")

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

as I saw many pdf viewers being supported by "--autopdf=...", there is one more (my favourite; Windows) - basic version is free but powerful, fast, keeps last view for each document; allows auto-reopen lately opened docs; enables copy-to-clipboard (text/image); annotations; allows simply open the document with all other installed pdf viewers; bookmarks; page thums; layers; attached files; many printing opts including n x m pages per sheet; ...

http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer

It might be good to support this viewer, too, for completeness.

Command line options (copied form the manual):

"
Command Line option
The PDF-XChange Viewer may be started with a PDF file or URL name as the first item on the command line. This facilitates starting the
Viewer in File Associations or using Windows ShellExecute.
The form of the command line for using this option is:

PDFXCview.exe [command] [filename1] [[filename2] [… [filenameN]]]
Where command can be one of the following commands:
   /A "param=value [&param2=value [&...]"
   /close[:save|discard|ask]
   /print[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&printer=<printername>][&pages=<pagesrange>]]
   /printto[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&pages=<pagesrange>]] <printername>
   /exportp <setting_file_name>
   /importp <setting_file_name>
   /RegServer
   /UnregServer
   /usep <setting_file_name>
"

Best regards,

Lukas

you can add this to l-pdfview.lua (opencalls windows section):

         ['pdfxcview']   = [[start "test" pdfxcview.exe /A 
"nolock=yes=OpenParameters" "%filename%"]],


if you have a texmfcnf.lua file in your local tree you can ass a 
directive there, otherwise you can make such a file with:

return {
     type    = "configuration",
     content = {
         directives = {
             ["pdfview.method"] = "pdfxcview",
         },

     },
}

assuming of course that you have that viewer someplace in your path

PdfXChange is normally here:

"c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe"

or

"%ProgramFiles%\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe"

I guess the snippet might become a part of the standard ConTeXt Suite.
