QView

QView is an experimental little PDF Viewer that can be controlled via OSC, slung together in a few minutes as a proof of concept.

Download

You can download a pre-built binary from here:

http://figure53.com/downloads/QView.zip

Usage

  1. Drag a PDF file onto the window to view it.
  2. Send OSC messages to port 60000. You can control which page is displayed using this OSC format:

/goto/page/number

  1. Or use relative pagination:

/goto/next
/goto/prev

Why does this exist

You might want to use it with QLab, so that you can display a script as you run a show, and have QLab control which page of the script is visible. Other ways exist to accomplish this, such as using AppleScript with other PDF Viewers, but it's fun to have a very simple way to send a very simple command to a machine that might be across the network.
