Introduce a PDF Viewer, and its behaviour like Vim
Alf
It's a Vim-like pdf viewer.
Like Vim, Apvlv makes people reading their PDF files just like using Vim.
And, Apvlv can understand that how many times you want to run the command.
And, it also support multiple window view to read multiple pdf doc.Here is the webpage:
http://apvlv.googlecode.com and has a group to discuss its bugs.

Hello!
Really good idea!
I just downloaded and built your app.
I got these errors:
krivenok@olimpico_work 18:03:04 /tmp/apvlv-0.0.3 $ ./src/apvlv
Error: Couldn't open file '/usr/local/share/doc/apvlv/Startup.pdf'
(apvlv:13616): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_path_is_absolute: assertion
`file_name != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault
krivenok@olimpico_work 18:03:25 /tmp/apvlv-0.0.3 $
I didn't install your app via "make install", so there isn't
/usr/local/share/doc/apvlv/Startup.pdf
file in my system.
Anyway, segfault is really bad thing :)
The following gdb output may be helpful:

I use ubuntu64 if it mattes, It default to use gcc-4.3 which is more
strict and will force a buffer overflow and abort.

Looks excellent from what I can tell from the web page. Any plans to
make this cross-platform? I spend half my time in front of Linux and
half in front of Windows, so, where possible, I try to avoid using
anything that is platform-specific as it just confuses me...

Thank you! It looks interesting, I'll certainly have a play around
with it. I know this is optimistic, but on the (long-term) plan, are
you intending to allow '/' to initiate a regular expression search:
this would be fabulous. Continuous scrolling would be nice too (like
acrobat's one: a sliver of grey between two pages and you can see the
bottom of page one and the top of page two at the same time).

Have you had a look at evince?
If you introduce the keybindings there, you'll be able to view .ps files
that way as well.

Can you mark the read position and jump there as freely?

Can you reproduce the errors reported by me and Dmitry?
