The PDFViewWin.exe is there to be able to update PDFs that are open in
Acrobat. Unfortunately there is a bug in Acroread 8.0.x that opened
files could not be closed. We therefore built in a workaround. It
seems that this workaraound doesn't work with Adobe Reader 8.1. I'll
check this.
You can remove all workarounds, the bugs are fixed in Adobe Reader 8.1.
The tools from the official installer work fine with 8.1.
Can someone tell me what can I expect from the PDFLatex View and Update View
functionalities?
Using the pdfview.exe (and related files) that come with the official installer (v1.5.1) I experience the following with both Acrobat
Standard 7.0 and Acrobat Reader 8.1:
-PDFLatex-View works fine
-PDFLatex-View-Update does NOT work. The document is recompiled, but the buffer-update command does nothing! That is, the document is
not update in Acrobat.
Using the PDFViewWin.exe (and related files) that come with Uwe's installer
(v1.5.1) I experience the following:
- Acrobat Standard 7.0: PDF-View works fine. To update the view, I run again PDF-View. The document is updated in Acrobat and
sometimes, but only sometimes, the updated document is shown from the page I was previously visualizing.
- Acrobat Reader 8.1: The same as before, but when updating the document is
always shown from the first page.
Are the behaviours I describe the expected ones?
Thanks
Cheers,
Nicolás
