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.
