Reverting pdf in Multifile tex document |

I use pdf tools as a viewing program. Just after I updated Linux and
Emacs last month a problem appeared. When I compile a document
consisting of, e.g., Ch01 and Ch02, while opening Ch01, the pdf visits a
page that is different from the one I am currently on LaTeX file. This
problem does not appear if the document consists of just one main tex
file.

Thanks a lot for the great recipe which made it rather easy to spot the
bug. AUCTeX always called pdf-tool's sync function with the master
file, not the current file. That should be fixed now and I took the
chance to release a new GNU AUCTeX version (11.89.2) via ELPA. It
should be listed in `M-x list-packages' within the next 24 hours.

I checked the code and its revisions, and that wrong behavior has been
there for quite a long time. I think, I've introduced that bug on
February 2015. So in case you've used an older version and recently
upgraded to a newer AUCTeX version, that might have been the problem (or
actually a good thing since you've spotted the bug).
BTW, in case you don't already know, if you use PDF Tools as viewer,
it's usually a good idea to also add
(add-hook 'TeX-after-compilation-finished-functions
#'TeX-revert-document-buffer)
to your ~/.emacs. That will revert the pdf-view buffer as soon as the
LaTeX compilation finishes so you don't have to do that manually.
Bye,
Tassilo
