Synchronization is the ability for a text editor and a pdf viewer to work together, displaying the same thing at the same time. For example, a text editor can ask a pdf viewer to display and outline the character in the output corresponding to the character under the cursor. Attached is a zip file containing diff against version 1.40.4, explanations and demonstrations in synchronize.readme/synchronize+frames.pdf PS: I have problems with my connection ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Robert (schlcht) Date: 2007-12-19 16:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2217 Also, the command line switch seems to be broken. It only works with \synchronize=1 in the source here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-12-18 14:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 Please update the patch against trunk and please use svn diff. I refuse to look at this patch more closely since the diff includes all the .svn files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Date: 2007-10-15 07:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4698 Synchronize3.zip is available. It just adds a flag in the .sync file to indicate whether dvi or pdf mode was used. So far I have found only one problem, using dvips or dvipdf with a concrete offset (-x and -y options) will break the synchronization. If such a filter is gentle enough to indicate that it used a custom offset, then viewers can take this into account and the synchronization is not broken. Viewers will check the above mentionned flag to look for customized offset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-09-30 22:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 You didn't attach Synchronize 2.zip yet... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Date: 2007-09-30 21:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4698 Synchronize 2.zip is a version extending the previous one. Now synchronization works the same for both dvi and pdf output modes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Date: 2007-09-30 21:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4698 Synchronize 2.zip is a version extending the previous one.
