Can we allow the user to specify that any Pdf view should be closed if the source LaTeX file has been closed. This would ensure that upon a SaveAs, the Pdf view is closed. Without this change, it is very easy to click on the Pdf view and open the old version of the LaTeX file without noticing that the file beign editted has changed. It is then possible to end up editting the wrong document.

Conceptually, closing the viewer on tex-file Close and on tex-file SaveAs are two different things and would not necessarily be appropriate equally.
The reason you give for the feature request has been discussed in [feature-requests:#764]. Based on this discussion, we've added a warning message to prevent accidentally using the wrong document. If that's your major concern, I see no need to consider closing of the viewer. Additionally, the closing business would be more complicated, because you'd have to think about the handling of multi-file documents.
