I am writing documents in latex that I compile to produce a pdf file opened with qpdfview (with the --unique option).

Once compiled after a modification on the tex .document, I would like qpdfview to automatically refresh the pdf.

I don't know how to configure qpdfview for this autorefresh feature.

Looking at the documentation there is the option

[documentView] autoRefreshTimeout=1250

but I do not know how to handle this option.

To turn the option on, go to the Edit menu, select Settings... and then check the Auto-refresh checkbox in the Behavior tab.

To change the default timeout values, you would need to edit the configuration file - likely ~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf. You should be able to modify/add parameters under the documentView section header:

[documentView]
autoRefresh=true
