Introduction

PDF files become a supported filetype with a graphical display, search option and a navigation tab if the file has an outline. Just open any file from a menu or double-click or use the bookmark feature. This allows you to bookmark PDFs from your machine or the Internet so they are easily accessible and referenced (PDFs from the Internet are cached on your machine for speed).

SHortcut

Looks like something changed in 6.9 we missed :-(

Will look at it for next release. Code is Open Source so you are welcome to download and have a look if you wish.

there is a problem with shorcut?

Hi,
I tried today on my WinXP machine with NB 6.9 and really liked this plugin. The only thing that I didn't able to do is the keyboard shorcut. ctrl + shift + d.

pdf-files are locked after viewing

Many thanks - a very nice plugin.

If a pdf is viewed in netbeans and then the window is closed the file is still locked, Could this be changed?
