Support library for PDF documents
PDF Tools is, among other things, a replacement of DocView for PDF files. The key difference is, that pages are not prerendered by e.g. ghostscript and stored in the file-system, but rather created on-demand and stored in memory. Note: This package is built and tested on GNU/Linux systems. It works on macOS and Windows, but is officially supported only on GNU/Linux systems. This package will not make macOS or Windows specific functionality changes, behaviour on these systems is provided as-is. Note: If you ever update it, you need to restart Emacs afterwards. To activate the package put (pdf-tools-install) somewhere in your .emacs.el . M-x pdf-tools-help RET gives some help on using the package and M-x pdf-tools-customize RET offers some customization options. Features: * View View PDF documents in a buffer with DocView-like bindings. * Isearch Interactively search PDF documents like any other buffer. (Though there is currently no regexp support.) * Follow links Click on highlighted links, moving to some part of a different page, some external file, a website or any other URI. Links may also be followed by keyboard commands. * Annotations Display and list text and markup annotations (like underline), edit their contents and attributes (e.g. color), move them around, delete them or create new ones and then save the modifications back to the PDF file. * Attachments Save files attached to the PDF-file or list them in a Dired buffer. * Outline Use imenu or a special buffer to examine and navigate the PDF's outline. * SyncTeX Jump from a position on a page directly to the TeX source and vice-versa. * Misc + Display PDF's metadata. + Mark a region and kill the text from the PDF. + Search for occurrences of a string. + Keep track of visited pages via a history.
