Very big update. New features:

  • PDFSync: you can set up your editor to open the file in PDFView, at a specific page. Instructions about this can be found here.
  • PDFView offers a new magnification tool (taken from TeXShop): you can hold your mouse button down and move it around to see the section of the document under the pointer magnified. You can also use it in combination with the Shift, Command and Alt key for different zoom level.

  • You can set up separated default width and height, for new windows.
  • You can instruct PDFView to reopen automatically, at the next startup, documents that were displayed the last time you closed it.

  • The corresponding menu item to the selected display style is now checked.
  • You can keep now rotate the pages counterclockwise, by keeping Alt pressed when you use the shortcuts.
  • When you manually change the zoom, in the toolbar's scale component, PDFView waits a second before updating the zoom level in the document, allowing you to type all the zoom level before changing it.
  • Bug fix: the zoom level is now saved again (was broken in 0.13.4).
  • Bug fix: now the page number, in the title bar, is displayed correctly when you are using "double pages, non continuous" display style.
  • Bug fix: now, when the document is reloaded and you are using a non-continuous display style, the current page is not changed.
