Initial Comment:
The syncronization between the .tex and the .pdf files is veeeeeery useful. 
It is not necessary to explain it.
Now, there are some tools to do it, but they are far of being good enough.
For instance, pdfsync makes some work, but it has a lot of problems. Of 
instance, the output is different with or without pdfsync.

I have read in TUGboat that, perhaps in the near future, pdfsync can be 
integrated en pdftex itself and improved. I request to do it as soon as 
possible.

Yours sincerely,

Juan L. Varona

I have posted a patch that works for both dvi and pdf output mode.

The output is also different with or without -src-specials
in DVI mode.

After some work with hanthethanh , here is a patch of pdftex 1.40.4 that would 
do the job reasonably well.
The attached file is a zip archive containing the patch, a demonstration pdf 
output and some explanations.
