SumatraNPP

Embeds Sumatra PDF viewer into Notepad++ - ideal for working with LaTeX documents.

You'll need my patched version of SumatraPDF 32 bit (3 Lines Changed): https://github.com/StarGate01/sumatrapdf

##Features:

• Embeds SumatraPDF as a dockable dialog into Notepad++
• Open corresponding pdf file for tex file
• Open arbitrary pdf file
• Jump to the corresponding line in the other document by double-clicking
  • Forward and inverse Search
  • Note: compile with -synctex=1
• Low memory- and cpu usage
• Note: This does not contain a compiler.
• Note: As of now, only single-tex-file documents are supported. But I'm sure you could hack something fitting together.

##Example setup: Note: This is just my setup. You can use many other configurations.

• Install Notepad++ to C:\Program Files (x68)\Notepad++\
• Install MiKTeX somewhere and ensure it can be found in %PATH%
• Install SumatraPDF x86 to C:\Program Files (x86)\SumatraPDF\
• Replace SumatraPDF.exe with patched version (sumatrapdf\rel\SumatraPDF-no-MUPDF.exe)
• Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SumatraPDF" to %PATH% variable
• Install SumatraNPP and NPPExec Plugins in Notepad++
  • Copy SumatraNPP.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\
  • Use Plugin Manager to install NPPExec
• Install MinGW, make sure to include make utility, ensure make is in %PATH% (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin)
• Configure NPPExec:

NPP_SAVE
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
make build
NPP_MENUCOMMAND Plugins/SumatraNPP/Open corresponding PDF
NPP_MENUCOMMAND Plugins/SumatraNPP/Forward search

• Write a makefile:

SCRFILE = filename.tex

.PHONY: build clean

build: $(subst .tex,.pdf,$(SCRFILE))

%.pdf: %.tex
	pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -shell-escape $<
	
clean:
	rm $(subst .tex,.aux,$(SCRFILE))
	rm $(subst .tex,.log,$(SCRFILE))
	rm $(subst .tex,.out,$(SCRFILE))
	rm $(subst .tex,.pdf,$(SCRFILE))
	rm $(subst .tex,.synctex,$(SCRFILE))

• Map NPPExec command into menu and/or to keyboard shortcut
• Use Notepad++ plugin "Customize Toolbar" to put build command into toolbar
