dot-emacs VS pdf-tools

I personally prefer to always specify the tangle destination specifically. Normally I set a global tangle destination for the whole file, where the majority (or all) of the blocks should be written, by having something like this at the top of the Org file (this is from my old Emacs init.org file):

I was also an Emacs user for a very long time, and only started using Org mode (relatively) recently. I can heartily recommend it - it has become my almost exclusive use of Emacs. I have a few pointers to the resources that helped me get started in the Org section of my old config file at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#org-mode. You can also see there a good selection of configuration options and packages that I found useful.

I used to have this code in my old Emacs config:

First things first, install pdf-tools, a great Emacs package for viewing pdfs. The default pdf viewer Docview is very limited so you should definitely get this package.

nov.el is pretty nice, although pdf-tools makes PDFs tolerable.

It looks enjoy pdf-tools got a new maintainer and he already changed the the melpa ⠀recipe, so you can get it via the package manager. I think this is a good development. My impression is, that he is new as an Emacs package maintainer, so please be kind and supportive, so he will stay on it for a while. :)

I have been using emacs pdf-tools lately and really enjoying it https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools

View, annotate PDFs and more with Emac's pdf-tools. There is also the built-in doc-view.

[pdf-tools](https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools) will let you do that.

I tried setting (add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook (lambda() (linum-mode -1))), which I found here. But it doesn't seem to do anything.

doc-view.el aside, there's https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools which may have its own set of issues.
