(I'd been hoping for an Emacs PDF reader for a while, because trying to look at xpdf and Emacs at the same time is kind of annoying, especially when trying to, well, do anything (xpdf is fine, of course--just another application to deal with, and which pops up windows...)) The searching-within-a-PDF function is particularly useful, but the whole thing makes things more convenient. Anyway, I have a couple of questions. (1) Is there any way to increase the image quality? The letters of the PDF files seem to end up somewhat butchered, making some hard to read. (I am reading in English, if that information comes in handy.) (2) When using "M-x doc-view" to find a file, Emacs tries very hard to ignore PDF files and will actually just complete around them when doing this (i.e., if a directory contains a PDF file and another directory and I press , it'll just complete the directory without popping up a completions buffer, per the standard behavior of find-file). Though this behavior is normally beneficial, has anyone come up with a hack to circumvent it when using doc-view in particular? Thanks to Tassilo Horn for writing this package and to the folks whom I've seen contributing on this list!
