Hi Stefan,

Yes, now it does.  But it looses the connection to the original remote
file, so if you open a remote pdf and do C-c C-c to edit it, these
changes won't be propagated back to the remote host.  The same applies
to compressed documents and documents in archives.

If you edit a remote PS file with tramp C-x C-s will save the updated
file to the remote host.  But as soon as you hit C-c C-c the current
buffer contents are saved to a file in doc-view-cache-directory which is
then converted.  Switching back to editing will open that file instead
of the original file.  That might be a problem...

And when opening a pdf that's inside an archive the doc-view buffer
won't be read-only.  I don't have any clue what's the problem here.

Bye,
