+Pdfopen 0.4 - Send open/close commands to Acrobat Reader
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a Linux (X11) implementation of Fabrice Popineau's pdfclose/
+pdfopen commands to control the Acrobat Reader.
+
+The libX code was borrowed from Reinhard Fobbe's Sendx library for
+Tcl/Tk, and the programs use the same license, copied below.
+
+Version 0.3 adds support for Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux.
+(different window titles and key shortcuts)
+
+Version 0.4 uses autoconf
+
+The command lines do not behave precisely the same as under Windows,
+because the Linux Reader behaves somewhat different: it is not
+scriptable, but it is possible to 'fake' keypresses.
+
+Both commands have only one meaningful argument:
+
+ pdfclose --file <pdfname>
+ Closes an existing window with the name <pdfname>
+
+ pdfopen --file <pdfname>
+ Opens a window with the name <pdfname> (starting a reader if
+ necesary), or it reloads <pdfname> if it was already open.
+
+Note: <pdfname> is the name of the X window, not a filename.
+
+
+Without argument, the pdfopen program sends a "Ctrl-<-" to an existing X
+window with the name "Acrobat Reader", and "Alt-<-" to a window with the
+name "Adobe Reader", if such windows exist.
+
+The --all and --page arguments of Fabrice's programs are silently ignored.
