Re: Tip for viewing pdf-files
Hi Paul I find that if you do update as opposed to view, the page stays at the same place but you have to "redraw" the screen. This you can do by a quick page up/down. I dont know if that fits your bill. samar - Original Message - From: "Paul Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 9:05 PM Subject: Re: Tip for viewing pdf-files On 4/14/05, Johan Ingvast <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The standard viewer for pdf files is acrobat but, there seem to be no way of making it update the view automatically.

Is there some way of getting the current page automatically shown up after reloading the file? Paul
