+** PDF Viewing
+Why not [[https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools][view PDF files]] better? To do this, first install the following on a Mac:
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  brew install poppler automake
+#+END_SRC
+And the equivalent on Linux. Actually, it is better to run [[help:pdf-tools-install][pdf-tools-install]], as it will do the above for the system.
 
+Finally, let’s install the Emacs connection to the =pdfinfo= program:
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+  (use-package pdf-tools
+    :mode ("\\.pdf\\'" . pdf-view-mode)
+    :init

+Make sure the [[help:pdf-info-check-epdfinfo][pdf-info-check-epdfinfo]] function works.
