It is very handy because it does not lock the file (like Adobe Reader) and thus enables us to recompile it while it is still open. It is then refreshed automatically at the end of the compilation. While using the "org-export-as-pdf" function, we are not able to get the same behavior as the function deletes the pdf file before the compilation. The deletion fails because the pdf file is opened in the viewer. Would it be possible to avoid deleting the pdf file before compilation? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff --git a/lisp/org-latex.el b/lisp/org-latex.el index 5aa6409..6e1356d 100644 --- a/lisp/org-latex.el +++ b/lisp/org-latex.el @@ -698,7 +698,6 @@ when PUB-DIR is set, use this as the publishing directory."
