Dear all,

I dare to ask this slightly off-topic question, because of the discussion 
about pdf-tools a day ago. 

I installed pdf-tools (https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools). It is a _lot_ 
faster than doc-view. Many thanks to Matt Price 
(http://matt.hackinghistory.ca/2015/11/11/note-taking-with-pdf-tools/) I got 
it working with orgmode. 

But I'd like to use it to display my PDFs I produce with LaTeX (Emacs, AUCTeX) 
as well.

The trouble is the automagic reloading of the PDF every time it get's changed 
on disk. Okular does this, but pdf-tools need some kind of invitation?!

From here https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/128  
is this setup for .emacs:

============= 8< ==============


(pdf-tools-install) 
(load "pdf-tools")
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-dvi "Okular") 
(output-pdf "PDF Tools") ;; 
))

(require 'subr-x)
(defun th/pdf-view-revert-buffer-maybe (file)
(when-let ((buf (find-buffer-visiting file)))
(with-current-buffer buf
(when (derived-mode-p 'pdf-view-mode)
(pdf-view-revert-buffer nil t)))))

(add-hook 'TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook
 #'th/pdf-view-revert-buffer-maybe)


================ >8 ============

If I compile a *.tex file again, I get the error 

"error in process sentinel: Symbol's function definition is void: when-let"

...and the PDF won't get updated.

Can anybody help me to get a working setup? Really, this libpoppler behind 
pdf-tools is such a lot faster, it reminds me on xpdf.

I'm on Linux, Emacs 24.5.1 and AUCTeX 11.89.

Thanks!

Alexander

So when-let is not defined above, and it is not defined by emacs, so you
got to get the definition from somewhere. Go back to the link and you'll
see further down that the OP complains about the same thing. The
solution seems to be

   (require 'subr-x)

That's because libpoppler is essentially a library version of xpdf:

$ yum info poppler
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, copr, etckeeper, langpacks
Installed Packages
Name        : poppler
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 0.26.2
Release     : 9.fc21

Repo        : installed
Summary     : PDF rendering library
URL         : http://poppler.freedesktop.org/
License     : (GPLv2 or GPLv3) and GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ and MIT
Description : Poppler, a PDF rendering library, is a fork of the xpdf PDF
            : viewer developed by Derek Noonburg of Glyph and Cog, LLC.

Wow, as usual thanks Nick, great help and insights.

Say, LaTeX and xpdf and poppler and Okular are all great software--suggest
you try out xournal too:

apt-get install xournal

--shows .pdfs and many tools for editing .pdf's

Also, you're well aware of the Emacs/ELisp tools for .pdf's (
https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools); but, suggest you install and tinker
with CPAN/Perl's pdf-tools--well worth investigating.

Yes, well, this is already part of the code I posted, see above. However, 
thank you, I admit my question is a little bit OT!

Sorry for the noise, to use PDF Tools instead of Okular I just had to write 
into my .emacs:

(pdf-tools-install) 

 (TeX-view-program-selection (quote (((output-dvi style-pstricks) "dvips and 
gv") (output-dvi "xdvi") (output-pdf "PDF Tools") (output-html "xdg-open"))))
