I'm gonna use that now for reading PDF files instead of doc-view (where I'm the author) and Evince (which I use due to doc-view's limitations). But Troy is correct. The PDF he links makes emacs freeze, although I've been able to recover by hitting `C-g' repeatedly. The result was that the raw PDF data was shown. Before I had opened that file successfully with doc-view and then did M-x pdf-view-mode. That worked. When doing it that way, it seems some if not all of PDF Tools minor modes aren't active, so I guess one of them does something that triggers the freeze. Andreas, do you plan to propose PDF Tools for inclusion in Emacs? IMO, that's really a package anybody's gonna love. (Oh my god, how well the syntex stuff/AUCTeX integration works!) Bye, Tassilo (who is flashed by that package)
