@lornova lornova released this 11 Jul 09:02

First published release.

PdfSideViewer shows two PDF documents side by side with synchronized scrolling that
survives different page formats and zoom levels: positions are exchanged in page units around
a user-adjustable anchor. Pure Win32 + Direct2D, a single portable executable.

New in 0.3.0

  • Page-by-page scroll mode (View menu, toolbar, Ctrl+4). When the whole page fits the
    viewport, every key press and wheel notch flips exactly one page; when zoomed in, input
    scrolls within the page first, stops at the edge, and only a further input flips (wheel
    credit is accumulated per detent, so precision touchpads cannot flip by accident). Forward
    flips land at the top of the next page, backward flips at the bottom of the previous one,
    and synchronized panes flip together.
  • Close document (File menu, Ctrl+W) for the focused pane.
  • Double-click an empty pane to open a file in it.

Also includes the previously unreleased 0.2 line: menu/toolbar/status bar chrome,
English/Italian UI, recent files and recent pairs, full screen, auto-reload when a document
is rebuilt on disk, and two-way SyncTeX integration with TeX editors.
