Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

pdfsync [http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/pdfsync.html] is latex package that allows one to synchronize between LaTeX source and pdf output. When used with a text editor and a PDF viewer that both support pdfsync, you can navigate from the source to the output and vice versa.

xpdf and Okular already have built-in support for pdfsync.

It will be very nice if this gets implemented in Evince some day. :-)

Ops, it was already done in 2007: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492434 .
And a patch for SyncTeX (a new feature merged to TeX Live 2008 that apparently does the same) is on the way: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543503 .
