Probably not portable, I think.  Windows users may set the directory
to "c:\foo\bar".  Maybe you could do like the package formerly knows
as `tumme.el' does it.  Ah, it's `image-dired.el' now:
`image-dired-thumb-name'.

Think about it hard: since you can do other things in Emacs in the mean
time, it's already running "in the background".  If your G4 becomes
basically unusable, the best guess is that the conversion process uses up
all disk and memory resources, in which case there's not much you can do:
even lowering its CPU-priority will not buy you much responsiveness.

I was thinking more in terms of kicking off a process that wasn't tied
to the Emacs calling process in any way (at present, there is a
process sentinel that notifies the doc-view caller that the conversion
has completed) and thus could be either reduced in priority or
scheduled for a different time.

Dear all,

I saw doc-view.el this week and was hoping that it would be the thing I was
looking for since years.  Well, unfortunately, it doesn't *quite* do what I
want: I'd really like to have a (reasonably fast,) full-featured dvi/ps/pdf
viewer that I can control from within emacs.

In particular, I'd like to be able to search and copy text as in kdvi / kpdf.
Furthermore, rendering should be fast, so that modifying the LaTeX and pressing
C-c C-c Ret should update the buffer quickly.

I wonder why this is appears so difficult to achieve.  Wouldn't it be possible
to have an X application running inside an emacs buffer?  The standard
application for me would be to have my LaTeX source in one buffer, kdvi in
another, and C-x b gets me to that buffer.  Using the window-managers
keybinding for switching to another application really does only half the job,
it's just not "as nice"...

I saw the xwem project a while ago, but it looks roughly dead, does more than I
need and moreover it doesn't work for gnu emacs...

Well, still, doc-view is quite nice,

Martin

The problem is that you can only embed images like jpeg or png is emacs
buffers and then it's hard if not impossible to extract any text.

Did you try AUCTeX with its preview-latex?  That will to what you want.

As far as I know that's not possible.

Well, I think it's not dead but finished.  It seems to do everything its
users want.

Yeah.  Somebody should write a foreign function interface for GNU
Emacs...

In the conversion of doc-view-convert-doc, you made a typo:
doc-view-conversion-buffed should be doc-view-conversion-buffer

Also, I suggested using C-n and C-p to scroll the image. You changed
the bindings of C-v and M-v to scroll the image and added C-n and M-p
to do next/previous page. I think my suggested bindings are closer to
what people would expect (e.g. - C-v would move to the next page while
C-n would move down in the current page). In any case, if you decide
to keep the existing bindings, you should probably at least change M-p
to C-p.

ah, thanks. (i had already replaced it with defvar, figuring that that way,
it would at least work. ;-)

btw, because my screen is rather small (12inch ibook), a converted page isn't
shown in full, and i have to scroll down to see the bottom part. (slicing
doesn't help, as the screen is just too small.) other viewers (xdvi, xpdf)
usually use the space bar to scroll down and jump to the top of the next
page if the bottom of the page is shown. usually, DEL or backspace does the
opposite.

i've been trying to implement this functionality for doc-view, but so far
without much luck. it turns out to be rather difficult to establish which
part of the image is actually shown in the active window. i've tried with
pos-visible-in-window-p and with window-start/window-end, but that doesn't
really work. do you perhaps know a better way to do this?

TIA

You can still slice with:

,----[ C-h f doc-view-set-slice RET ]
| doc-view-set-slice is an interactive Lisp function in `doc-view.el'.
| (doc-view-set-slice X Y WIDTH HEIGHT)
| 
| Set the slice of the images that should be displayed.

yes, i saw that function. however, the thing is, the text itself is simply
too large to fit on my screen. ;-) telling doc-view to create smaller
images wouldn't work either, because then the text becomes too small to
read.

thanks, i just downloaded the new version. your way of doing it is a bit
smarter than mine. ;-) unfortunately, moving backward from the top of page
X to the bottom of page X-1 doesn't work. the cause seems to be to be what
i would consider a bug in emacs, though.

the problem is that calling (goto-char (point-max)) makes the entire image
disappear from the visible part of the buffer; only the line "Page x of y"
is visible. if at this point i hit DEL to scroll down the image and make it
visible, emacs displays the *top* part of the image, not the bottom part,
which i would expect.

like i said, i think this should be considered a bug in emacs. if the
buffer contents is scrolled down, and emacs needs to scroll an image into
view, it apparently shows the top of the image, even if the image is too
large to be visible all at once. what emacs *should* do in such cases,
IMHO, is show the *bottom* part of an image first, and only show the top
part of the image when the contents is scrolled down further.

btw, defparameter is back again, and you've made a typo:
doc-view-scroll-dows-or-previous-page (twice)

Hi Tassilo,

   --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   (defmacro defparameter (symbol &optional initvalue docstring)
     "Common Lisps defparameter."
     `(progn
	(defvar ,symbol nil ,docstring)
	(setq   ,symbol ,initvalue)))
   --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

   But that was just a typo.  Please update, I removed it.

I do not see what the typo you are talking about is. Where is the
error in this code snipet ?

Hi,

   I can see that Tassilo might want to keep his bindings as he also has
   the characters "n" and "p" bound to the "next/previous PDF page"
   functions; however, I think that (if he keeps the existing bindings)
   the "M-p" binding should be changed to "C-p".

I agree with that statement.

the code snippet does not have a typo, it's tassilo's reply to my question
how to get defparameter in elisp. the typo is the fact that there was a
defparamater in his code.

Done so.  I think I have to create a function that changes to
defparameter, evaluates the sexp and changes back to defvar...

But you should be able to scroll with C-v/M-v or the arrow keys, aren't

Yes, I know.  Emacs' image scrolling capabilities are somewhat poor.

Now it's bound to `C-x C-v'.  Hopefully this was my last defparameter

Hey, it's a whole bunch of fun.  I've just finished implementing a new
feature: Now you can REGEXP-SEARCH in documents.  Please git-pull and
give it a try.  The commentary explains how to use it.

I tested it a bit and it seems to work for me, but certainly I added
some new bugs, too.

Hey, what a coincidence - I was just about to write a note saying
something along the lines of "now that the speed issue has been
addressed, the biggest remaining shortfall is..." and you went and
addressed it before I finished writing the post! ;-)

It would be nice if there was some way of highlighting the matching
terms in the document; however, I can't see how you would be able to
do that. Alternatively, as each matching page is displayed with
"C-S-n", perhaps you could display at the bottom of the page the
matches on that page with a certain amount of context - (e.g. - 10
words on either side of each match). That would let the reader find
the matches more easily on that page.

Hi Tassilo,

   Hey, it's a whole bunch of fun.  I've just finished implementing a new
   feature: Now you can REGEXP-SEARCH in documents.  Please git-pull and
   give it a try.  The commentary explains how to use it.

I tried to git-pull but I got an error:

Cannot get the repository state from http://www.tsdh.de/repos/git/doc-view.git

Is there something I am doing wrong or what ?

Regards,

	Xavier

No, but sometimes the server is down for some minutes.  Please try

Yes, when I tested the searching functionality I always thought: "Why's
that page a match, I cannot find that damn "foo" anywhere!" (Till some
minutes later I found that little "football" somewhere.)

it works fine, i haven't found any real bugs (yet ;-).

one thing though: the first time you press C-s, the document gets converted
to txt, but once this is done, you're not asked for a search string and no
searching is done. you have to press C-s again to do this. is this
intentional? if so, i must admit it's not very intuitive.

and another thing: would it be possible to inform the user about the
dimensions of the image when slicing with `s s'?

TIA

Now I display the line containing the match at the bottom.  It's
possible that you have to delete the TXT files from the cache, because
this required a new option to pdftotext, so that the lines in the PDF
match the lines in the TXT file.

Because I don't make any faults. :-)

Yes, because the process may take several seconds on slow machines and

Yeah, now it's don this way: If the process finishes and the user didn't
switch to another buffer, the user will be queried for a regexp.  If he
switched away, he won't be bothered.

Yes, now it always displays the valid range.

Great - that looks really nice. 

I tried some searches on a number of different files and they almost
all worked fine. However, when I tried searching Peter Seibel's
Practical Common Lisp PDF book (free download from Apress:
http://www.apress.com/free/index.html), there were mismatches between
the page that was displayed and the matching text. The page number
corresponded to the page number that was displayed; however, the
search term wasn't on the page. The line containing the match was
displayed correctly; however, it was for a page later in the
document. This seemed to happen for any searches I did of the PCL pdf
file.

First, I thought it might have something to do with the size of the
pdf file or blank pages not being counted; however, searches of the
sicp.pdf book all seemed to produce correct results, so I'm not sure
why the search functionality doesn't work properly in some instances.

I have the same problem - if I don't have the phrase pointed out to
me, I can spend ages trying to find it on the page.

Yippie!

I have that PDF and it works for me.  Could you please delete the

If it still doesn't work, please post your search regexp.

The reason is probably that pdftotext is used with the -raw option,  
which deletes all empty lines leading white space. There is another  
option: -layout.

I think doc-view should check the number of pages first (pdfinfo  
<file> | grep -i pages | awk '{print $NF}'). If the number is greater  
1 than -layout should be more appropriate ...


BTW, -layout is bit faster!

I use -raw here and don't have any problems.  Both versions have 528
occurences of ^J and that's what doc-view uses for counting pages.

I don't like -layout, because then the context of the search matches
contain those whitespaces, too.

Maybe you use an older (buggy) pdftotext version?

Hey, that's really cool. But, I have to move the mouse in order to get
the help-echo to display. Is there anyway to get the help-echo to
display without the mouse (either automatically once you've done
"C-S-n" or with a key)?

Ok, I deleted the doc.txt file for PCL and did a "C-u doc-view" to
re-generate the PDF; however, search still doesn't work properly with
PCL. I just did a simple search for "mapcar". When I press "C-S-n",
the first page it positions to is physical page 51 (page 25 in the
book). However, "mapcar" isn't on that page. The first match is
actually on physical page 57 (page 31 in the book) and that
corresponds to the matching text that is displayed by doc-view for
physical page 51 ("specify the values to change. The main new bit is
the use of a function MAPCARthat maps over").

Presumably, if you search for "mapcar", you are positioned to physical
page 57?

I tried deleting the doc.txt file, changing the pdftotext parameter to
"-layout" and re-doing the search. Unfortunately, the results were the
save with the PCL pdf file.

Exactly.

What's your pdftotext version?  Mine is

,----[ pdftotext -v ]
| pdftotext version 3.00
| Copyright 1996-2004 Glyph & Cog, LLC
`----

which comes with poppler-0.5.4.

Could you please upload the doc.txt somewhere?

Maybe I could start introducing some little bugs in the meantime and the

Ok, the difference in paging was that your newer version puts something
like this for an empty page:

,----
| before empty page
| ^J^J
| after empty page
`----

whereas my older version makes that

,----
| before empty page
| ^J
| ^J
| after empty page
`----

So I simply had to change the regexp for increasing the pagenumber.  The
old one always matched to the end of line and so ^J^J increased the
pageno by one instead of two.

I tested it with your doc.txt and mine and both seem to work as
expected.

You probably meant "^L", but, yes that makes sense. Glad it was an
easy thing to locate.

Haha, me too.  If you ever visit Germany be sure to visit
http://www.maximilians-brauwiesen.de/ (personally, not virtually).
"Maximilians Brauwiesen Braunes" is IMO the world's best beer.

(Probably they brew the best beer, but webdesign isn't their strength.)

Thanks - I'll make a note of it and see if I can find any in the local
(Vancouver) shops. Maybe I won't have to wait till the next time I'm
in Germany!

Hi,

   FYI - I just posted about doc-view.el on my blog:
   http://bc.tech.coop/blog/070830.html

   Hopefully, my post is fairly accurate! ;-)

It is and I like the video. It would have been cooler not to
choose QuickTime format though ;)

What would have been a better format and what utility would you have
used to do the movie? I've tried a number of different ones and I've
gotten the best results with QuickTime format using SnapZ Pro on Mac
OS X. However, I'm not an expert in video utilities/formats so would
appreciate recommendations.

I think a quite good tool for screencasts is recordmydesktop [1].  It
produces OGG files where video is encoded with Theora and sound is
encoded with Vorbis.

You won't have any luck.  You can only get it directly at the brewery or
its restaurant/Biergarten.

But I could send you some sixpacks.  With DHL it would be 32 EUR for
shipping two, or 42 EUR for four sixpacks.  With UPS it would be about
200 EUR shipping for four sixpacks. :-)

That's too bad.

The DHL rate of 42 EUR for 4 sixpacks sounds like a pretty good
rate. 4 sixpacks of Canadian beer would be about 33 Eur. I wonder what
sort of duty Canada would charge on beer imports (probably quite a
hefty amount as Canada has some of the highest rates of taxes on
alcohol in the world).

Nah, I better not buy any - I might get used to drinking it and then
it would cost me a fortune! But, thanks for the offer anyhow!!

Unfortunately, recordmydesktop is linux-only and I use Mac OS X. I
haven't found any port of recordmydesktop for OS X and none of the
other open source Mac options for screencasts seems to support OGG
file output. I once did an audio recording of Gregor Kiczales
(http://bc.tech.coop/blog/060709.html) and someone converted it to OGG
format; however, he used a linux utility and I haven't found any good
OS X options for outputting OGG format audio or video.

I was playing around with vnc2swf
(http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/) to see whether I could use
that instead (it outputs screencasts in Flash swf format); however, it
only worked some of the time and audio syncing (with the video) was a
bit "problematic".

I am not an expert at all. My reflexion was just on the choice of
QuickTime (a notorious proprietary format). I think XVid would be
a best bet but I may be wrong.

Anyway, thank you for the video ;)

Have you found and tried Perian? http://trac.perian.org/, http:// 
svn.perian.org. They add plug-ins for (the) QuickTime (framework) to  
enable the use of additional audio, video, and encoding formats, that  
even an elderly tool like qtplay can now play Ogg. Probably this also  
allows to convert to other formats.


The Fink project offers parts of recordMyDesktop, pyGTK and pyQt, or  
libogg and libvorbis. The biggest obstacles are libtheora and  
libXfixes, which is from X11R7 – maybe in Leopard? Other pre- 
requisites, at least for some example player programmes, are libsdl  
and liboss (which then needs libesound and libaudiofile and ...),  
both (all) supplied by Fink. These example players seem to be not  
necessary since VLC or Helix Player (Real Player 10) provide their  
ability.

I had a look at the Perian site. I didn't see anything that indicated
that they support OGG video capture output.

Wouldn't libtheora be necessary for outputting OGG format videos? In
any case, I'm not interested in writing my own screenrecording
utility, I just want to use one. So far, the best one that I've found
for Mac OS X is SnapZ Pro. It's commercial and it doesn't produce OGG
output; but, I guess I'll just keep using that until I find some
alternative that is open source and produces OGG output and runs under
Mac OS X.

Thanks for the suggestions.

- Bill

Yes, libtheora is needed to encode video material. Ogg is just a  
container format for *some* streams of compressed data (audio, video,  
text).


Perian does not offer any ready to use tools. It only has the APIs  
and library functions. With QuickTime Pro or iMovie or such gadgets  
it might work to save the recorded scene in an Ogg container with  
Vorbis audio and Theora video contents.

If Perian is missing things like Theora, the XiphQT plug-in has it:  
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/.


I am not doing anything with video or audio programmes (and my clone  
is missing spare time, too), except listening to some free music  
recorded at concerts or watching some funny video.

Ok, thanks for the info. I've had "partial" success in creating an ogg
video file from my QT movie. I did the following:

1. Downloaded XiphQT package from:
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html
2. Moved XiphQT.component to ~/Library/Components/
3. Loaded my doc-view.mov movie into iMovie
4. In iMovie, selected File/Share... menu option
5. Selected "Expert Settings" from the drop down menu
6. Selected "Movie to Ogg" as the Export: option and pressed
"Options..."
7. Under "Video Settings", I selected "Best" for Frames per Second and
"Best" for Compressor Quality and "High" for Sharpness

The movie was converted to OGG format (e.g. - an OGG container with
the sound in the Vorbis codec and the video in the Theora
code). However, although the resulting sound quality was ok, the video
quality was very poor. It was so poor that, although I could make out
what was happening in the movie, it is doubtful that anyone would want
to watch it. So, I guess converting .MOV movies to OGG format isn't
really a viable option.

On Mac OS X, I can use VLC to view OGG videos; however, I haven't been
able to find any screenrecording utility that will save to OGG. Does
anyone have any recommendations?

- Bill

Just for the record (and in case any Mac OS X users find themselves in
the same predicament), I was able to finally convert my Quicktime
Movie to OGG. The issue was iMovie converting everything first to DV,
when it did the export. If you are able to use QuickTime Pro to export
again as OGG you don't have the same problem. I converted the movie to
OGG format and have posted it on my blog. A description of what I went
through and a link to the doc-view.ogg movie are here:
http://bc.tech.coop/blog/070904.html

The OGG format movie is actually smaller in size (~9MB as opposed to
~16MB for the Quicktime movie) and of comparable quality.

Thanks to Tassilo, Peter, and Xavier for the pointers and suggestions.
