I think the main question is self-sufficient. To add things that I tried: I am on a linux machine so I was trying opensource options, and qpdf was the software I was already using. Tried to seek answer from google but couldn't find my answer from the links google indexed. Tried getting answers from chatgpt but it told me to use acrobat instead because qpdf is not as good as acrobat. Being on a linux machine I just installed acrobat using wine, but I still have to use acrobat. I thought of asking the question here while trying the acrobat way, because I would prefer something opensource.

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. ,g$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$P. OS: Debian 9.8 stretch ,g$$P"" """Y$$.".

I am using qpdfview to create annotations to a PDF. These however cannot be seen in Acrobat Reader, the software the OP to which I'm sending the document is using. How can I produce a document that contains the annotations in other software? The annotations cannot be seen in xpdf or other tools.
