Forward search for pdf

Docs need to be compiled using the "modern" configuration.

• Settings -> Configure Kile -> Tools -> Build -> Quick Build:
  • Remove "PDFLatex"
  • Add "PDFLatex" with config "modern"
  • Move to top position

Inverse search for pdf (Using the pdf-viewer Okular)

Open "Kile"

 Usage: in Okular left click on any line while holding [SHIFT] key. Kile jumps to the corresponding source code line.
