I bring you a small utility that what it does is to be able to view two files . PDF at the same time, or the same .PDF on different pages. Well, you will say that this is nothing new, we can open two .PDF file viewers, and we do the same right?
However, the great advantage of the method described here is that the configuration is saved, and if we reopen the program, the .PDF documents appear open, right on the pages where we were the previous time, thereby saving clicks ( search for files and position ourselves on the pages where we stop reading). We achieve this with TurboPDF.
Knowing the tool
Seeing a document "comfortably" is very important when we are studying something and we need to see two different parts of the same document at the same time and we do not want to lose sight of one part, for example:
- The index and a chapter.
- A graphic or an outline and the text that explains it.
- The statement of a problem and the text of how it has been solved.
It also allows us to have two different .PDF files open at the same time, which can help us to compare and study them.
In addition to moving through the document with the typical buttons (forward, backward, last and beginning), we can zoom with the plus and minus buttons, and also with the mouse wheel.
In the download you have both the .deb installation package and the source code:
Surely you can think of some improvements ... if you mention them to me, I will try to add them.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: nemh / gambas3 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gambas3
And that's it, I hope you find it useful to use this excellent tool.
Excellent @jsbsan, I'll keep that in mind.
regards
excellent 😀 more than one time is needed when you read thesis or things like that.
just a recommendation for desdelinux
it would be recommended that each time an application is "published" it is mentioned at the end if the application is
Free software, Open source, proprietary software
The differences in the rights granted to us by each of these licenses are:

@marcos: I forgot to comment on it, it's Free Software.
It reminds me of Comix, which is not only intended to read comics in ".cbr" and / or ".cbz" format, but also as a double page PDF reader.
And by the way, good proposal, but the bad thing is that it is made in gambas3 (it will be cumbersome to port it to Windows).
You don't need to port it to Windows ... in a previous post I explained how to run gambas3 programs in windows, using a virtual machine (with virtualbox for example).
In Konqueror in KDE 3.5 that I still use in Debian Lenny, I can see a PDF the kpart and Kpdf. In the Window menu you can choose Split the view (in several ways and more than once) and thus obtain a result similar to that obtained with Turbopdf, perhaps the only thing that cannot be achieved in Konqueror is to save the settings to be able to view the PDF file (s) in the split views at another time.
Version 0.0.2. Added improvements:
- Now you can see the index of the pdf document (if you have it) and scroll through the document by clicking on the index entries.
- Improved viewing when zooming. Now it looks much better.
- Indicates the number of page in which it is showing (tooltip in the image of the page) and the total number of pages that the documents have.
Bug fixes:
- Update if you find a new version works correctly.
- Fixed application start. (it failed when there were no previously open documents)
Thank you very much Julio! I've been looking for a tool like this for a long time. It's great for studying with PDF textbooks or LaTeX processor while making changes.
Someone who has installed it in open suse 13.1 and can write the way he did it? I would appreciate.
I have seen in the official documentation that gambas3 can be installed in open suse. Is that the question you have?
