I would use a plugin manager if I were you; there are many: Vundle, Pathogen, etc. There are also many latex plugins for vim; if you really want to use a plugin with vim to compose latex documents I would familiarize myself with them and determine which best fits your needs. https://github.com/LaTeX-Box-Team/LaTeX-Box https://github.com/xuhdev/vim-latex-live-preview http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/ http://atp-vim.sourceforge.net/ I'd say that none of these are for the weak of heart. You'll have to spend some time to figure out how to used them; I suspect that most decent latex plugins support launching a viewer to examine the pdf. But, as I said before, you'll have to do some reading and setup to get it working how you like it.
