Re: org-protocol links from adobe reader

[Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de>]

Hi Friedrich,


I was planing to investigate for org-protocol and Acrobat for a long
time now and never got around to make it.

Great stuff!!

I think we should add this to the org-protocol docs on worg. How about
adding it to the org-protocol docs on Worg:

   http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php#sec-3

I wouldn't bother to do it myself, but, as you might have read on the
other thread, code_swarm is better for projects with lots of committers
;-)


Best
