Re: Jumping back from Pdf file to LyX (Latex) source?
As far as I know, It is not possible to reverse search from a pdf file. You need to use the dvi, which supports marks known as dvi specials. I don't maintain my patches anymore. Best regards, João.

If I understood the bugzilla exchange correctly, the situation is: there was very lenghty discussion http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg87046.html from which is seems everybody wanted it in the tree so it seems like a mystery its not already there :) 1. Reverse seaerching (I guess that's the term) works from kdvi to a Latex file opened in a standard editor 2. Georg Baum provided a patch that would make it work from kdvi to LyX, but the patch never made into released version of Lyx, for reasons unknown (as of 2/24/09) So there is a workaround, and there is hope! i just tried to use this patch, unfortunately most of the code moved around so its not easy to patch it again. on the other hand, the changes which are needed look like more of mechanical work then some actual rewrite... CC-ing to Georg, Joao and lyx-devel. may be somebody knows what was the problem. pavel

Jumping back from Pdf file to LyX (Latex) source?
I am starting to work on the final editing of a long manuscript and I would very much appreciate the option to click on a page in the pdf viewer app and jump directly to the corresponding block of text in the source file. I do not think this is possible with LyX, presently---am I wrong? If not, does anyone know of a similar facility for LaTeX? I vaguely remember something along this line as (perhaps) an Emacs mode plus a specific pdf (or dvi, I am not sure) reader. I tried googling, but I am not sure how this option would be called, so my results were meagre.
