Hallo,

...

see l-pdfview.lua ... the clal on windows is: pdfopen --ax --file

anyhow, unfortunately the pdfopen/close programs are not consistent with respect to dealing with commandline options on different platforms (and also not downward compatible) which in fact renders them somewhat useless (it woudl be nice if someone would normalize them)

if I give the command: context --autopdf a.tex

I get the runtime error and after the context run

mtx-context | pdfview methods: acrobat default okular, current method: acrobat (directives_pdfview_method)Cannot contact a server.

pdfopen --ax --file a.pdf pdfopen --rx --file a.pdf pdfopen --file a.pdf

works ok

pdfclose --ax --file a.pdf pdfclose --rx --file a.pdf pdfclose --file a.pdf

works ok too, if not following a pdfopen, otherwise I get:

Cannot execute command "[DocClose("%s")]" (error 16393)

Shouldn't be the first two variants for acrobat (resp. reader) 10? I wonder why they are working. I have the reader 9.4.6 and no acrobat at all.

I only have 10 and there it works ok. Ideally the pdfopen/close programs should be clever enough to figure out what acrobat they deal with. If needed I can introduce (next weekend or so) a 'open pdf' and 'close pdf' in the configuration file so that one can tweak it.
