Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
Meanwhile I wrote an inverse-search-patch for epdfview that works quite good so far. I want to add forward search but for fs to make sense, the viewer must have the ability to pass commands like "reload" or "goto page x" to a single instance that is already running. (Because you do not want to open a new viewer instance everytime you do a fs in the editor.) The blueprint is xpdf's "-remote" option.
I chose epdfview because it's small and fast. I think it is closest to what I need but it lacks some of the features I described. When the search patch is ready, I will submit it upstream and post it here!
Help is very welcome! (For example I have no idea what is a simple, secure and performant method to pass commands to a running instance of a program (named pipes? lookup in /proc/stat? sockets? shared memory? ...). xpdf looks up the window name via some xlib functionality but I do not know how to do this in gtk...)
You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
I updated the evince-gtk-synctex package to evince 2.26.2. Thanks thomaslundgaard for the evince-synctex patch and to skottish for the evince-gtk package. Enjoy!
I modified the patch to issue a call of "sh" instead of calling "bash" directly.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
Tristero,
Thanks for posting the Evince patch etc. However, I too would rather see a proper patch for ePDFView. The only viewer that I am aware of that fully support synctex (beside TeXWorks' viewer of course) is SumantraPdf for Windows. The developer of the synctex features website is here.
The above solution works great with Emacs-AUCTeX on Windows. I can double-click on source and it will take me to the corresponding line in the source. In Emacs I can hit F12 and will highlight the corresponding line in the pdf.
I do not have texlive on this system so I have not been able to try your path (or Thomas' patch for that matter). I applause your effort though; Linux is truly lacking a good LaTeX-centric pdf-viewer.
Thanks,
Rasmus

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
DarkVenger, you are right. The PKGBUILD and the install file are okay, but the patch files have been messed up.
When I post the patches in code tags and try to copy the content of those code areas back from the preview into a text editor, I end up with the patches messed up.
It seems code tags are no good method for releasing large patches. 
Obviously I missed that and I apologize for the inconvenience! Is there a better way to release the files to the forum without launching a new PKGBUILD?
You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
I use the software http://trac.emma-soft.com/epdfview/. It's the same code as Evince, but without the Gnome-depencies. It just need libpoppler, Gtk+ and Cups (optional). On my machine its verry fast and has a clean interface. The code was easy to read for me (i never code with Gtk). Maybe you port the patch to epdfview or I try it.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
emacs 23 (emacs-cvs in AUR) can view pdf, ps and dvi files using doc-view-mode.
I does not fulfill all the stuff on your wish list, and I see you are a vi user, but maybe someone else will like it.
Works great with auctex if you add
(server-start)
to your .emacs file and press in the emacs menu
LaTeX->Customize AUCTeX->(expand)->Tex command->Tex output view style
Somwhere there is a line
Extension: ^pdf$
Set the value below to
Command: emacsclient %o %(outpage)
Then C-c C-c in a tex buffer will bring up the pdf in a fraction of a second, to the same page you left it last time.
Or better yet,
just add
(add-hook 'doc-view-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode)
to your .emacs file. The pdf will then automatically reload when it changes on disk, in other words each time you compile.
A split window with one frame of code and one frame showing the allways up to date pdf is nice.
Take 3:
Add to .emacs:
(server-start)
(add-hook 'doc-view-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode)
Change the tex output view style to
Command: emacsclient -e "(find-file \"%o\")"
This just tells the running emacs server to evaluate (find-file "filename.pdf"), not opening a new client.
Pressing C-c C-c in a freshly compiled tex buffer now will raise the allready updated pdf buffer if it exists, or open a new buffer with the pdf file.
A doc-view-mode buffer can be moved to the background simply by pressing 'q'. The pdf buffer will be updated when the pdf is regenerated.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
one feature I would really like to see in epdfView is a simple reload comand. evince had that.
So right now after I compiled my latex file I have to close and reopen the document in epdfView.
Am I missing something?
Had never heard of SyncTex but I'm now very interested especially since I will soon start on my Master Thesis and I also use vim.
Keep up the good work

Have a look at gummi in AUR. It has an early version number and (yet) is not perfect, but surely a step in the synctex direction.

Yes, using Stefan's auctex-cvs package, with the following configs. Does not work with the package in community.
PKGBUILD(the default spawns new frame with a new buffer for each double click, this does not):
EDITOR="sh -c 'cd $(dirname %{output}); emacsclient -n +%{line} %{input}'".emacs. (My full auctex config. tex-correlate-mode is the relevant part. server-start is requiered if you use emacsclient in the PKGBUILD):
(server-start)
(setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'tex-pdf-mode)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'tex-source-correlate-mode)
(setq-default TeX-master nil) ; Query for master fileIn .bashrc(to make emacs start if no server is running):
export ALTERNATE_EDITOR=emacsForward search does not work, but using compile region(C-c C-r on a marked region) and using emacs to view it like I showed above is a decent substitute.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
Thanks for the comment on the evince-side. Håvard, are you aware of emacs --daemon for emacs>=23. It works beautifully and is much nicer than (server-start) imo.
>Forward search does not work, but using compile region(C-c C-r on a marked region) and using emacs >to view it like I showed above is a decent substitute.
Forward search should also work -- somehow; at least it is built into AUCTeX-cvs. I used it on Windows. However, I don't believe the capability has been tested on Linux since no synctex-enabled pdf-viewer was available when this feature was added.

Hi,
I will check out the emacs --daemon stuff, thanks.
Forward search appear to work with tex-output-view-style set to:
evince %o -p %(outpage) -a
I imagined that would spawn a new evince process so I did not try it earlier. It seem to work quite beutifully, C-c C-v jumps to the correct page without spawning a new evince.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers
Håvard,
Funny, I was looking at the exact same variable this moment. You beat me to it, though
Do you know where I can find a list of recognized placeholders? I am only aware of %s.
Somehow we should be able to set the line-number as well. It should be supported by evince-synctex. See the kile-script.
Particularly:
# Call synctex
SYNCTEX_RESULT=$( synctex view -i "$LINE:$COLUMN:$FILE" -o "${MAINFILE}.pdf" -x "echo ::%{page}:%{h}:%{v}:%{width}:%{height}::" )Also, C-c C-v doesn't work. It must be controlled by some other variable. . .
>I will check out the emacs --daemon
It works with both tty clients and gtk clients, which is great. Also, the deamon seems to start faster than a regular emacs and clients starts instantly!

Particularly:# Call synctex SYNCTEX_RESULT=$( synctex view -i "$LINE:$COLUMN:$FILE" -o "${MAINFILE}.pdf" -x "echo ::%{page}:%{h}:%{v}:%{width}:%{height}::" )Also, C-c C-v doesn't work. It must be controlled by some other variable. . .
>I will check out the emacs --daemon
It works with both tty clients and gtk clients, which is great. Also, the deamon seems to start faster than a regular emacs and clients starts instantly!--Rasmus
Did you include the -a? I forgot it in my first edit.
I have not found a good list, just found bits and pieces from google. It appears %n is the current line in the emacs buffer.
But does it help? Are there hidden opts to evince?

I don't think the help messaged has been altered.
Unfortunately I am not able to 'read' the patch, so I am really not sure.

Re: A little manifesto for the "perfect" PDF Viewer for LaTeX'ers

I guess this could be appended to the standard view command.
