I am using the default on MacOS which is Preview, though I doubt the situation is any different for Linux or Window. I would be highly surprised if any default pdf viewers auto reload when the pdf is modified or recreated. A refresh button would be a better option only if I could tie it to a shortcut , because the process of navigating to the menu to press refresh is as time consuming as double click to reopen it. Preview has no refresh button as far I can tell.�

ok then, you can modify the script and use the PDFVIEWER environment variable. Still, the default pdf client on Ubuntu refreshes automatically when the PDF updates. It is so useful that I stupidly thought even paying OS had this. I should have known better. In French we say "Linux: y'a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher" (Linux: you can find worse but that's more expensive) :-)
