How do I use latexmk with MuPDF as the PDF previewer?
You have to specify $pdf_update_method = 2
in the configuration file, which tells latexmk
to send a SIGHUP signal to the process when a change is detected:
$pdf_update_method = 2;
$pdf_previewer = 'mupdf';
- Configure
latexmk
for your user in the file~/.config/latexmk/latexmkrc
(per the XDG specification) containing$pdf_previewer = "mupdf"
. - Specify the configuration's path:
latexmk -pdf -pvc -r ~/.config/latexmk/latexmkrc doc.tex
The default location for a user's configuration latexmk
is either ~/.latexmkrc
or ~/latexmkrc
.
