And I hope that succeeded in opening the file (but not as a server). Just close that again. > and also > > $ vim --servername foo test.ly I hope you got a startup screen. On my system, that displays: ~ VIM - Vi IMproved ~ ~ version 8.0.707 ~ by Bram Moolenaar et al. ~ Modified by pkg-vim-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org ~ Vim is open source and freely distributable ~ ~ Help poor children in Uganda! ~ type :help iccf<Enter> for information ~ ~ type :q<Enter> to exit ~ type :help<Enter> or <F1> for on-line help ~ type :help version8<Enter> for version info > But when opening the PDF file in vim, I still get the same error messages... What PDF? Please show the actual commands you used. You need to start the server *before* you try to connect to it with a client: $ vim --servername foo and then, at a different location, type: $ vim --servername foo --remote test.ly and that should open test.ly in the server (at the original location).
