Anyway, this doesn't seem to work on my MATE laptop. I've

pdf help: looking for gretl-guide-a4.pdf
In all three case, the guide opens, but not at the indicated chapter. Sorry I
don't have time today to pursue this any further.
Correction/integration: it works with okular, provided you've rebuild the
pdf files from scratch. That is, between "configure + make" and "make
install", you run "make pdfdocs".
That said, I suspect that a setting I have with both evince and atril by
which those two programs remember the page they where at when a given file
was last closed is maybe interfering with the desired outcome, but I
wouldn't know how to turn it off/on (I actually like it).
