                               ==================
                                AcroReloadPDF.js
                               ==================

Description:

    AcroReloadPDF.js is a small JavaScript that adds a ``Reload'' function to
    Adobe Reader on Linux and other Unix-like systems.

    It allows to reload the PDF document currently viewed in the Reader to
    reflect the latest changes. The last view (page number and zoom state)
    will be restored.

    Since MS Windows does not allow to overwrite a document currently open in
    another application, this script does not make much sense in that
    environment.


Installation:

    Copy the script to

    ~/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/JavaScripts/

    (the version number may need to be adjusted), close and restart Adobe
    Reader.


Usage:

    To reload the PDF, go to File-->Reload in the menu bar of Adobe
    Reader.

    Alternatively, press <Alt>+<F> followed by <d> to invoke it from the
    keyboard.
