Dye" Cc: Nick Dokos , emacs-orgmode@gnu.org I used this minor mode: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/ox-manuscript/ox-manuscript.el#L949 long enough to see that it kind of worked. It basically launched an async export every time you saved an org file. If you have a pdf viewer that will refresh when it changes on disk, it is pretty close to real time syncing if your pdf doesn't take long to build. There is no jumping back and forth though.
