pdf viewer

I was looking for a super simple pdf viewer.

My current favourite pdf viewer is PDF-XChange viewer, but it's not super
light and I was looking for an alternative.

I wanted to associate the viewer with TeXStudio, my currently favourite
LaTeX editor. TeXStudio has an internal viewer that's pretty good, but I
was looking for something I might like a little more.

The search took a while.

I tried Foxit, Sumatra: too heavy.

mupdf: cannot be configured.

evince: buggy

At last I found what I was looking for: pdflite

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

bat files to convert, crop, and rotate pdf files

Software: MiKTeX, Ghostscript, Calibre, pdftk, imagemagick.


@echo off
setlocal
cd /d %~dp0

for %%I in (*.eps) do (
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\epstopdf" %%I
)

for %%I in (*.pdf) do (
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ghostscript\gs9.00\bin\gswin32c.exe" -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE#bbox "%%I" 2> bounding
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\pdfmanipulate.exe" crop -o "%%~nICropped.pdf" -b bounding "%%I"
)

for %%I in (*Cropped.pdf) do (
"C:\Program Files (x86)\pdftk\pdftk.exe" "%%I" cat 1-endE output "%%~nIRotated90.pdf"
)

Welcome to my memo blog
