Opening PDF document from Latex with view parameters set
Maximus_Rumpas
I would like to o view my Latex compiled document in PDF but without
having to change the scale and view each time I switch to Acrobat.
Is it possible to specify some parameters within the preamble that
would change the way in which the Acrobat opens the document,
specifically with a predetermined Scale and View - Page Display set to
Two-up Continuous?
Kind regards
Max

Sorry - turns out there is a simple answer - set the preferences with
Acrobat.
Next time I will think before posting a message!
Thanks for your time anyway

Anyway, you could try the insdljs package from the acrotex bundle: it can be
used to insert javascript code into the pdf and I've once used it to set
some reader options directly from the file.
For example, this was part of the preamble:
\documentclass[pdftex]{article}
\usepackage{eforms}
\usepackage{insdljs}
% Highlights empty fields
\OpenAction{/S /JavaScript /JS (%
if (!app.runtimeHighlight)
{
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
})}

An alternative is to switch pdf viewers: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF_software
I use Sumatra which allows the pdf to be changed (re-compiled) _while_
the viewer is open, and automatically _remembers_ previous viewer
preference settings when re-opening the file. I suspect that these
features are becoming standard on freeware pdf viewers as well as the
(latex editor dependent) feature of synchronizing the tex input to the
pdf output (i.e. somehow mousing on one goes directly to the
appropriate place in the other: can't describe better; have never
used).

Thanks Massimo and zugzwang that's useful information.

Another very beautiful PDF viewer which is as fast and as small as
Sumatra, but provides text selection and search capabilities is
"Evince". It is supposed to support DVI too, but not in the windows
binaries available at http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/.
It can detect the document change and allows the PDF to be changed in
the background. Much better than Sumatra.
thanks

I use evince most of the time on Linux. Though it can be quite slow at very
complex documents (eg a streetmap for a whole country). Another good PDF
reader for Windows is FoxIt Reader - much lighter than Acrobat Reader.
There's also a patch to add a 'Reload' option to Acrobat (Adobe) Reader:

Works for me on Linux.

I prefer xpdf to evince.
