Will the call to emacsclient be: emascclient ort-protocol://remember://docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7/TitleOfPDF/Selection Hi Daniel, you will have to call emascclient ort-protocol://docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7/TitleOfPDF/Selection and define a custom handler to make this work. As docview is in the core, you could add that handler directly in lisp/org-protocol.el if everyone is OK with that. I'm not online very often at the moment. I probably won't read your answers before I tried that myself (just updated Org-mode here). I'll be back on thursday :-/ See: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Nie0815#p/u/1/h7Z2PiAcgh8 and http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-protocol-custom-handler.php for more on custom handlers.

Re: [Orgmode] protocol for PDFs?
If you use docview mode to view a PDF in Emacs then the link will contain the page you are viewing in the PDF file. I don't know how you will implement the support in Evince, but Evince also has an option (-p) to open the file in a given page and this would be enough for a link to a PDF file. Since I prefer using Evince instead of docview mode I would be very happy to test it. - Darlan Cavalcante Moreira At Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:28:14 -0800, D M German d...@uvic.ca wrote: hi there, I am trying to add support in Evince and Xournal for org.

Re: [Orgmode] protocol for PDFs?
Jan Böcker twisted the bytes to say: Jan Example: Jan [[docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7][Page 7]] Jan Of course, these links open the file by visiting it in emacs. Jan I would propose to modify org-docview.el to look in org-file-apps for an Jan entry for \.pdf\' thanks. This will get me going for the time being. Also, keep in mind that some people use xournal for native .xoj files, so it will be nice to generalize this for any extension (provide a handler for the given type of document). --dmg -- -- Daniel M.

Re: [Orgmode] protocol for PDFs?
I have implemented 'Remember' in xournal. I doubt this feature will ever make into the mainstream. You can check out my fork. it contains many features not in the current distribution, but useful, including very rudimentary search support, ability to jump to next and previous annotations: http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal or you can cherry pick my commits. Look for Remember under the edit menu. By default it would use the name of the PDF file (if one exits), otherwise it will use the .XOJ file. I am curious to see if we can select text in xournal. I don't use Link (only remember) but that would be easy to implement too. The infrastructure is there now. Jan PS: I am very interested in integrating Xournal with Org. I use Xournal Jan for doing all my homework for university; when I have saved the file, I Jan manually add a file: link to my org file. It would be great to store Jan that link directly from Xournal!

Jan It allows you to link to any document format which doc-view-mode Jan supports, which includes PDF files.

Will the call to emacsclient be: emascclient ort-protocol://remember://docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7/TitleOfPDF/Selection By the way, the way I envision it, xournal will have an option to open evince in the same page (already implemented), and then one can select text from the PDF and send it to org. In xournal one can create a hyperlink to a given page using org, but no selection is possible (no support in xournal yet). --dmg -- Daniel M.
