How to deactivate SyncTeX

[Uwe Siart]

Dear all,

I wonder whether it is possible to build latex.fmt and pdflatex.fmt
without SyncTeX support or whether there is some other way to inhibit
SyncTeX. It produces yet another auxiliary file for a functionality
which I do not use.

You can use -synctex=0. I agree that it should be turned off by default.
For example in formats.ini, if that is possible. I will check to see if
that is an option.

Thank you for this. Until this happens I will configure my editor to
use the -synctex=0 option.

Many thanks for implementing this. With the 2008-07-01 update it seems
to be off by default.

When was synctex introduced?
I'd like to use it when creating .pdf files and viewing with sumatrapdf
(special version of William Blum) to have forward and inverse search.

When I compile I have the following in the log file:
pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.7 (MiKTeX 2.7) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2008.6.6)

Thanks,

Alain Delmotte

One of the recent ones (within the last week, I think).

Not a MiKTeX question, but related: Which PDF viewers (if any) support
SyncTeX?  I doubt the freshly-released Adobe Reader 9 does, and I
thought that Sumatra currently only supported the pdfsync-based method.

A couple of days ago, LaTeX and PDFLaTeX runs suddenly created a file
named <jobname>.synctex.gz.

It seems that synctex is deactivated now. So now the opposite
question: is it possible to (re)activate it by default? If yes how? (Not
that I need it currently, but I'm rather sure that the question will
pop up in the one or other group shortly).

(I tried to add arguments=-synctex=1  to formats.ini (the local and
global one) together with various combinations of --mklinks and making
formats but that doesn't seem to have an effect).

See the following messages out of the sumatrapdf forum and the blog(?)
of William Blum:

http://william.famille-blum.org/blog/index.php?entry=entry080612-040012

I haven't tested yet. I am waiting for the answer to Ulrike Fischer
question:
how to have a SyncTeX output (is it a parameter to pdftex? or new format
files)

Regards,

Alain Delmotte

I didn't want to know how to get synctex output. That's easy:

You can activate synctex for a run with
pdflatex --synctex=1 file or pdflatex -synctex=1 file

(It seems not to matter if there is one or two hyphens)

My question was if is possible to activate it as a default.

Did you find the answer to this question?

I am using LaTeXDaemon but it is not possible to pass arguments
through LaTeXDaemon to pdflatex.
