Great File man. Can i add a mirror file on my site? It would be bad if the human world will lost this great small tool.

BTW, YAP is slow for me only because of the many graphics I have in the document.

As a workaround, it’s lightning fast if I just don’t show the graphics, but instead a rectangle bounding box, achieved like this:

\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}

Here is my dviout.par configuraiton file. It seems you must pay attention to the trailing backslashes, occasional reverse-aposthrophe (’`') prefix, and sometimes, double trailing backslashes (?). DVIOUT is an atrocious example of barely usable software.

That said, here was the PAR file I used to make this work with latest ghostscript 8.62 and MikTex 2.7.

I still can’t get EPS images to render.

Comment on Subversion Keywords and LaTeX by matt

matt — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:29:09 +0000

Thanks for the simple explanation. We use subversion for document and configuration management at work and this addition of keywords makes things just that much nicer. I am wondering how to push this propset out among our repo, without killing our scripts , removing !#/bin/sh with $id and also what is the effect on binary files… Any suggestions for pushing this out to , all text files that are not shell scripts or binary files.. Or if they are shell script put the id at the bottom .

Even if ‘restore last view’ enabled, Acrobat 7.0 Pro only restore last view for the same file, if compiled and generated by LaTeX, Acrobat treats it like a new file and thus no ‘last view’ for it.
I really like a re-implementation for the ‘back’ option, please.

Thank you.

I have implemented the autorefresh and pdfsync inverse-search features for SumatraPDF. The changes have been submitted to the SVN repository on Google Code.

Comment on Precompiled Preamble for LaTeX by Ritesh Sood

Ritesh Sood — Thu, 08 May 2008 11:23:57 +0000

I don’t think the “-job-name=”main” ” in the command below is necessary
latex -ini -job-name=”main” “&latex preamble.tex\dump”
Exec-ing, instead
latex -ini “&latex preamble \dump”
generates preamble.fmt. Also note that i’ve left out the file extension in preamble.tex. (La)TeX knows what file types to look for.
I tried both variants, with identical results. The latter makes more sense to me however; since we’re (pre-)loading the contents of preamble into main.
Thanks for your post, which inspired me to start my own blog today

Comment on pdfopen and pdfclose by Miguel

Miguel — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:18:27 +0000

I have the same problem as Thomas, and it not depends on TNC but only about open/close pdf
and mainly on Adobe Acrobat (pro).
It seems that Acro/adobe Reader works differently on Adobe Acrobat.
Maybe you can find the solution

Comment on Knuth Interview 2008-04-25 by ryanw

I like the Knuth interview here, although it’s fairly long. (Not sure if I got the HTML formatting right. You should have a “preview” feature…)

Found the problem: automatic font generation settings were read from the registry. Either unchecking this option (from the REGISTRY property page in the DVIOUT Properties dialog) or including the correct command line in gen (at Font2 property page) solves the problem.

I understand that what you want is the continuous view from YAP, but I am not sure that this notion is supported in Dviout. It seems to support the single page view only. I believe the mouse support is hardcoded, as described in the help file. Sorry.

Maverick!

This is a great page and wonderful help. I was able to set up dviout on my Miktex 2.4 installation using your instructions.

There is only one nagging issue that I would like to resove: In dviout, I can move across pages by pressing Shift+rotating scroll wheel on my mouse or by keeping the wheel pressed and rotating simultaneously. However, I am so used to moving across pages by just rotating the wheel as in YAP that I would like to regain that functionality in dviout.

Can I do this by changing the key association in property sheets? Any hints or help would be immensely appreciated.

I was about to write my own, just wanted to check did anyone make it before… I downloaded it, still didn’t check it, but i’m sure it works

Thanks!

Hi Franz,

There is nothing new so to speak. Indeed the standard classes probably do not have this problem, but once you venture into more fancy things (especially those that deal with page shipout routines), the problem of having out-of-order source specials seems hard to avoid.

Having said that, it doesn’t mean we cannot hack dvi previewers like dviout to use a slightly more complicated heuristic that works better most of the time. I have not found the time to do so, however.
