Open pdf as tab in running instance of xpdf
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am really fond of xpdf but would like to have a tab-based workflow.
If I open a pdf with xpdf file.pdf and then open another pdf with xpdf file2.pdf the scond file is opened in a new instance of xpdf. Is it possible to have it opened as a tab in the first instance of xpdf?
I am on OSX.

Do you have access to a version ofxpdfthat supports the-remoteoption (the one from Homebrew on macOS does not, for example)?

It's the homebrew version I've got. Is it possible to get another version, with -remote, on MacOS?

I don't think that xpdf can open multiple instances of pdf files. An easy way to do this is opening multiple pdfs in a browser (I do this, works for my use case).
You can try and open more pdfs with qpdfview but the last time I used it, it crashed often.

You can open multiple pdfs in one instance of xpdf withxpdf file1.pdf file2.pdf. They show up as two tabs in the same instance. The question is whether you can add more files to a running instance.
