View documents (PDF/PostScript/DVI) inside Emacs

with 4 comments

Today I wrote an extension for emacs that lets you view pdf, ps or dvi documents in emacs. It’s named doc-view.el and I posted it to the emacs-sources mailing list (here it is). But I recommend that you get the latest version by cloning my Git repository.

A description of doc-view.el and how to get it can be found on my homepage.

UPDATE: doc-view is official part of Emacs and the default viewer for DVI and PDF files.

  3. Great add-on :)
    ive been using it for a while and im missing only one thing. Rescaling images. Sometimes the pdf doc’s don’t fit in the window.

  4. With the doc-view version in Emacs CVS (23), you can enlarge and shrink the doc with + and -.
