VIM: Is it possible to view pdf file in a split window?

Viewed 5749

I would like to view a pdf file in a split window using gVim, does anyone know if this is possible? How?

Some details: I just recently started using vim and use it to make notes, while reading a pdf. I write own notes, but quite often I copy text from pdf, so smooth copying would be nice. Currently I need to alt+tab for pdf viewer, go to mouse or arrow keys, select text, copy, alt+tab back to vim. Of course this is not a huge task, but using vim I feel it could be possible without mouse, keeping hands at "home row", and not needing external program alt+tab to...

Ideally I would like pdf to be shown as it is supposed to be. If that is not possible, I will try how pdf shows as text representation using some plugin.
