vim-latex-pdf

Inspired by vim-instant-markdown, though admittedly, not so instant.

  • Just runs pdflatex when you write to a .tex file and opens the resulting PDF.
  • Also, when writing to a .cls, finds all .tex files referencing that class and PDF/opens them.

Installation

Using Pathogen

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/michaelgruber/vim-latex-pdf.git

OR with git submodules:

git submodule add https://github.com/michaelgruber/vim-latex-pdf.git ./.vim/bundle/vim-latex-pdf

Requirements

  • Needs access to the pdflatex command. For Mac users, you can get this by installing the MacTeX package.

Disclaimers

  • I've only tested this with Vim 7.4a and Bash 3.2.48 on OS X 10.8.
  • Will open the PDFs using the system default reader.
  • It seems Adobe Reader needs to be closed in order to see the changes made.
  • I use Chrome, but it opens a new tab for each save, which is annoying.
