Hi
I edit/compile latex documents in Emacs. I would like to add a command
to view the pdf output using kpdf. I can run the command kpdf file.pdf,
but when I change something in the editor and want to recompile, I have
to close kpdf. I would like to change this so that kpdf can remain open.
kr/Alain

Can't you make it to automatically reload the PDF file when it has
changed? Have you looked for applications that can do this? (I only
know of Mac OS X applications that can do that, xpdf needs an ``r´´
as does gv.)
AUCTeX or GNU Emacs can't communicate in a magical way with X
clients. If some X client does not support a particular function,
AUCTeX or GNU Emacs can't teach it. The viewer application (for DVI,
PS, or PDF) are stand-alone applications that get launched once. Then
they stand alone on the screen and either they do their job
automatically or the user does his or her job automatically.

I don't know about kpdf, but you can do this (and more) with xpdf.
Start xpdf like this:
$ xpdf -remote key file.pdf
Then compile your file like this:
$ pdflatex file.tex && xpdf -remote key -raise -reload
You don't even need to press M-TAB (or whatever you use to switch
windows)!
HTH,
Oleg

Alain, I do the same thing. I am constantly running kpdf and kdvi
after compiling LaTeX; are you using AUCTeX? I strongly recommend
it. If you are, you can go into Customize and change the viewer
commands. This does everything asynchronously, so that then you can
continue with your Emacsing.
