Made for Pulsar!

This package was written specifically for Pulsar and did not exist in the Atom package repository.

pulsar-pdf-viewer

pulsar-pdf-viewer is a package for the Pulsar editor that makes it possible to view PDF files in Pulsar panes. It is a wrapper around Mozilla's PDF.js library including its viewer application, adapted for the Pulsar environment.

Installation

Install from Pulsar's Settings/Install dialog (search for pulsar-pdf-viewer) or via ppm install pulsar-pdf-viewer.

Usage

PDF files can be opened from the Pulsar user interface, e.g. from the project tree view, or programmatically through atom.workspace.open().

The PDF.js viewer supports a number of keyboard shortcuts, the most important ones are:

shortcut	function
`n` or `j`	next page
`p` or `k`	previous page
`ctrl`+`f`	find
`ctrl`+`g`	find next
`shift`+`ctrl`+`g`	find previous
`ctrl`+`+`	zoom in
`ctrl`+`-`	zoom out
`ctrl`+`0`	reset zoom
`r`	rotate clockwise
`shift`+`r`	rotate counterclockwise
`F4`	toggle sidebar

Zoom is also possible via ctrl + the mouse wheel. A click on an internal link scrolls to that position in the document, a click on an external link opens it with the associated application. If modified by ctrl or shift, external links are opened in a separate window.

If the PDF has been generated by *TeX with SyncTeX support, a right click opens the source file in at the corresponding line.

The package watches for file changes and reloads the PDF if necessary. Viewer panes are persistent across runs.
