Some TeX implementations or macro packages provide the facility to au-
tomatically include so-called `source specials' into a .dvi file.
These contain the line number, eventually a column number, and the
filename of the .tex source. This makes it possible to jump from a .dvi
file to the corresponding place in the .tex source and back (also
called `reverse search' and `forward search').

I wonder if such functionality is possible for PDF files,
in particular, in the xpdf viewer.
Thanks for suggestions.

There have been two such attempts that I know of.
Heiko Oberdiek's vpe:
<http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/vpe/>
Haven't used it, but his reputation precedes him.
Jerome Laurens' pdfsync is more unofficial (not on CTAN, grrr), but I
believe it's supported in AucTeX these days:
<http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/pdfsync.html>
(It's also got support in a couple of Mac OS X editor/frontends.)
Hope this helps,
Will
thanks for the links. It's exactly what I'm looking for.
