Hi Hans and gang, For a future ConTeXt, would it be possible to add support for the --back option for pdfopen/pdfclose? See http://magic.aladdin.cs.cmu.edu/2005/07/15/pdfopen-and-pdfclose/ This will allow you to automatically return to the page of the pdf you were working on at the moment you close it. There are some caveats for working with mutiple pdf's but it's a nice feature to have.

well, then make sure that the version in distributions support it
pdfopen --help Usage: pdfopen --file <filename> [--page <page>] Opens <filename> (at page <page> if available) in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. pdfclose --file <filename> Closes <filename> in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. pdfclose --all Closes all documents in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed by `pdfclose'.

:-) But that's exactly my point, the pdfopen that comes with the distro does not support --back :-) This would be a really nice feature to have, if we can implement it (or just use/improve Woo's code)...

I suggest writing to that guy that made the change(s?) and asking him to send the adjusted source to either Fabrice Popinea or CTAN. The version on CTAN is the one that ends up in the distributions. Best wishes, Taco
