Adobe Reader 8, Adobe Reader 7, Adobe Reader 5, xpdf or evince as the
PDF viewer program.
Adobe Reader (in a new window) is the default.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pdfopen
displays the specified PDF file using the given (or default) viewer.
If there is already an instance of the given viewer displaying the
given file, the viewer is instructed to reload the file.

.B pdfclose
searches for one of the above PDF viewers displaying the given file
and instructs the viewer to close the window.

.SH NOTES
If the file argument to
.B pdfclose
is shown in a tab-capable viewer (such as Adobe Reader 9), the tab
displaying the file is closed, but the window itself is not closed.

These programs are designed for X11-based systems.  If you somehow
find compiled versions of these programs on a system using another
window system, they are very unlikely to be of any use to you.
