PDF view does not open

[lwincenciak]

Atom version: 1.32
Atom-latex version: 0.8.5

Up to now the PDF view was working fine, but just stopped. Everything goes properly, latex is working fine, the pdf file is generated correctly but then fails to display. I cannot make it display in a new tab or whatever. It does not show any warnings or error messages. Nothing. My impression is that it works somehow but fails to show the file. Loosing focus? Any suggestions?

Hi, @lwincenciak 👋 -- thanks for opening an issue. I'm unable to reproduce this -- I'm on Atom 1.32.2 and opening a few PDFs from my machine worked just fine.

Can you share which OS and version you're on, and which version of this package you're using? Does this happen for all PDFs or only some? If only for some, can you share one such PDF here? And can you share a GIF which demonstrates the problem you described? Finally, can you try reproducing the problem with only this package (pdf-view) enabled, and all other packages disabled (to make sure it's a problem in this package and not some other package)?

Version of PDF-view is 0.71.0.
My system is Windows 10 Pro 1803.
I noticed that opening a project folder which is a local repository of a Github repo works fine. I have a LaTeX file there and when I save it, a compiler automatically starts and then PDF-view window pops up in a tab. It is being refreshed when changes are made so everything works great. But when I open another LaTeX file from my disk (not in a repo) the same thing does not happen. The file is compiled but the PDF-view tab is not invoked and cannot be invoked by hand either. Strange...

Hi,
I've had a similar issue.
Version of PDF-view is 0.71.0 and my system is Windows 10 Pro.
I can typeset ".tex" file both on Texworks and Atom, but can't open ".pdf" file only on Atom. (It is possible on Texworks.)
I try opening ".pdf" file without typesetting ".tex" file, it doesn't open. I think it was open by this way before.
I hope someone tell me how to solve this problem...
