NAME

pdfopen, pdfclose - manual page for pdfopen 0.4: Acrobat Reader remote control  

DESCRIPTION

pdfopen and pdfclose can be used to control a running instance of Acrobat Reader.

pdfopen [--file <pdfname> ]

pdfclose [--file <pdfname> ]

Without argument, the pdfopen program sends a "Ctrl-<-" to an existing X window with the name Acrobat Reader, and "Alt-<-" to a window with the name AdobeReader, if such windows exist. pdfclose sends a "Ctrl-w" instead.  

OPTIONS

--file <pdfname>

With this argument, pdfclose closes an existing window with the name <pdfname>, and pdfopen opens a window with the name <pdfname> (starting a reader if necesary), or it reloads <pdfname> if it was already open.

--all,--page

These arguments, accepted by Fabrice Popineau's Windows originals of pdfopen and pdfclose, are silently ignored.
