See astintoh refreshpdf.html It doesn't refresh my tmp file.) I am editing latex on my Windows Vista systems. Which I am using pdflatex to generate pdf file constantly. My pdf viewer is Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, I have to close and open the same file each time to get the new look. Is there any way to keep the pdf viewer refreshing the pdf pages once it changed?

Just save this code as e.g. 'pdfrefresher.html' in the same folder as your pdf. As src of the embed object you use only the filename, e.g. 'myPdfFile.pdf' (not disk or directory). In the code, you can adjust the width and height of the embedded object and the timeout (in milliseconds). link|improve this answer edited Sep 13 '11 at 12:45 answered Sep 13 '11 at 11:46 Remi 1,465312 It's a good solution, however, it keeps refresh the screen. How can I set it only refresh after changing? . Lei Sep 13 '11 at 12:24 I'll add a button, moment please . Remi Sep 13 '11 at 12:35 Done. I put a button to do manual refresh (which is just somewhat easier than re-opening your document in Adobe viewer). Checking for change is another topic; you can perhaps more easily set the timing interval equal to the interval at which your pdf changes? . Remi Sep 13 '11 at 12:50 thanks for the help. .
