/close is amazing, how about /minimize too

[hermit]

I am amazed the newest version supports the /close command line parameter, which is really useful for TeX users. How about a /minimize command line parameter too so the program window will not be forced to the foreground when my latex script is closing the file? i.e. I want to continue with my TeX writing when my script is closing the pdf file.

into build 39, when /close parameter used, behaviour of the viewer will be changed - now it will not stay foreground.

Hi,

does any of you use WinEdt by any chance? I have a problem of setting it with pdf-xchange, well basically I don't know how to set it. It opens with pdf-exchange fine, but don't know where to tell WinEdt to use /close parameter.

Thanks

OK, got it, for those who might be interested, first change path to viewer in Option->Execution Modes->Acrobat
and then edit two files:

1. in Acrobat OpenDoc.edt uncomment the following two lines
// ShellExecute("Open", "%N.pdf","","%P",1);
// Exit;

2. and add the following two lines at the beginning of Acrobat CloseDoc.edt (use your pdf-xchange installation path)
Run("C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\pdf-viewer\PDFXCview.exe %P\%N.pdf /close");
Exit;

OK, I found out what has changed. Before it worked like this

PDFXCview.exe file.pdf /close

Now, it works like this:

PDFXCview.exe /close file.pdf

I like the /close switch, but it behaves annoyingly when PDF XChange is set to display each PDF in a single/separate instance (Options checked: Single Document and Allow Multiple Instances). When it is called with the /close switch, the target PDF file is closed, but an empty window is left open. Is there anyway to have it close the whole thing?

sorry, will fix this.
