Currently in Linux I operate with two windows. In one I am updateing a source file and periodically updating the pdf file from that window by calling the TeX typesettin system. In the other I am displaying the current pdf file of my project via Xpdf, a pdf viewer. Xpdf has this chaacteristic that when the underlying file changes the Xpdf window can be updated to the latest file by just typing "r". The current page number does not change. However Acrobat Reader does not have such an update function AFAIK. OTOH Acrobat Reader will run on multiple platforms, including MSWindows but Xpdf is restricted to X Window based platforms such as Linux or BSD. Is there a way to trick Acrobat Reader into updating to the latest pdf file yet still retain the same page number position? Or is there another PDF viewer that will run on MSWindows that has this upddatebale characteristic? John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers
