TeXworks – How to Suppress PDF Preview in TeXworks

texworksviewers

Is there any way to suppress the PDF preview appearing? I really don't like the internal PDF viewer and I prefer using Acrobat. (I know that on Windows, Acrobat makes the .pdf file read-only, but I'm on linux and it behaves better here). It is annoying pop-up that I have to kill or so whenever I compile.

In the "Typesetting" tab of the preferences, you can double click the tool you use, say "pdfLaTeX" and there you can disable "View PDF after running".

I'm afraid you have to do it for all tools.
