It bypasses the requirement to generate an intermediary format such as DocBook, Apache FO, or LaTeX. Instead, you can use this extension to convert your documents directly from AsciiDoc to PDF. Its aim is to take the pain out of creating PDF documents from AsciiDoc.<br />
It uses Prawn <a href="https://prawnpdf.org/api-docs/2.3.0/" rel="nofollow">https://prawnpdf.org/api-docs/2.3.0/</a> a pure Ruby PDF generation library that provides a lot of great functionality while trying to remain simple and reasonably performant.<br>(<a href="https://roland.iwasno.net/links/?v_0U0w">Permalink</a>)View PDF documents in an Emacs buffer with DocView-like bindings.https://roland.iwasno.net/links/?wgNEGw2017-01-23T13:09:04+01:00PDF Tools is, among other things, a replacement of DocView for PDF files. The key difference is, that pages are not pre-rendered by e.g. ghostscript and stored in the file-system, but rather created on-demand and stored in memory.<br />
<br />
This rendering is performed by a special library named, for whatever reason, poppler, running inside a server program. This program is called epdfinfo and its job is it to successively read requests from Emacs and produce the proper results, i.e. the PNG image of a PDF page.<br />
<br />
Actually, displaying PDF files is just one part of PDF Tools. Since poppler can provide us with all kinds of information about a document and is also able to modify it, there is a lot more we can do with it.<br />

It essentially turns the pdf into a png file. It's SOOO fast, and you can search for text inside the document!<br />
