Interesting, I like xpdf because it is lightweight, but how do you
manage inverse and forward search in your pdf files with xpdf?

I switched from xpdf to okular (which is recently quite buggy) and then
to evince which is not as fast as xpdf but supports both searches.

I have attached my auctex settings, and also a small org-mode setting
for use in exporting to pdf (which you may not want, of course).



my-autec.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp


my-pdf-org.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp

You probably don't need this, but I have the following in my ~/.mailcap

application/pdf; xpdf %s
application/postscript; gv %s
application/x-dvi; xdvi %s

Best wishes.

I don't. I just grep the source files.

Yes, I tried okular but found it often hung - or crashed! Xpdf is old, I
know, but it works.
