Ohh, I'm so sorry. Look, I know its complicated, but I'm going to explaining
to you. I'm going to left the PID
out, because it's very complicated (and because some wm may have problems, oh
fuck! I'm complicating
all again!). Don't worry, please... where are my puppets? Any way... This is
the script for call mupdf:
I'll call it pmupdf, oh! I'm sorry, it's a complicated name. I'll explain to
you.
/*********************/
/* P IS FOR PRINT. */
/*********************/
-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
FNAME=$(echo $1 | sed -r 's;.*/([^/]+);\1;')
RFNAME=$(readlink -f $1)
mupdf $1 &
echo $RFNAME > /tmp/${FNAME}_pmupdf
-----------------------------------------------
Whoa! It's Enormous, and that sed... don't be afraid, here you'll find help:
http://askubuntu.com/
And now, the print dialog script: pdialog. Yes!! The p is for print!! You are
such
a big boy.
-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
FWIN=$(xdotool getwindowfocus)
FNAME=$(echo $(xdotool getwindowname $FWIN) | sed -r 's/pdf.*/pdf/')
export RFNAME=$(cat /tmp/${FNAME}_pmupdf)
# CUPS's lp
xterm -e sh -c 'echo Range of pages?; read PAGES; lp -P $PAGES $RFNAME'
-----------------------------------------------
Yes, is horrible, tomorrow I'll send another one to you in javascript.
You can now put a key binding, for example with xbindkeys
"pdialog"
Mod4 + p
And now, when you are reading a document, you press the windows key and the p
key, listen, at the same time, eh?, and you can select the pages you want to
print!
And now, archive it in a ZIP file, make that an attachment to the A1 cell in a
spread sheet, and push it up your ass.
And now for something completely different:

zathura is very slow with big documents, with mupdf and also with poppler. The
only thing
I really miss in mupdf is the double page feature that sometimes I need.
