Greetings.

I read something like the following in the Skim documentation, but I can't find 
where at the moment.  It seems that reason you must always specify 
auto-(re)load the first time you update a PDF is so that you don't forget and 
override a previously compiled version of the document that you might actually 
want to save.  

I have been using Skim regularly and the autoupdate feature works very well and 
is very handy.

Daron

 It is already checked in my case, but Skims asks if it must auto load the pdf 
 if I change it the first time. Afterwards, it does it automatically.

Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?

[stefano franchi]

Dear all,

I am helping a friend setting up Lyx on her Mac, and I cannot find a
way to set up either Acrobat Reader or Preview.app to automatically
reload the pdf upon update. I am no longer familiar with the Mac
environment, I am afraid. Two questions:

1. Do Acrobat Reader and Preview.app (latest versions for both)
support auto-reload?

2. If so, is there any specific trick to be used either in their
respective preference panels and/or in Lyx's preferences (in File
Viewer, I mean)?

Thanks for the help,

Stefano

Preview.app, version 5.0.x (which comes with OS X 10.6.x) is able to
reload pdfs and does that automatically. As I recall, earlier versions
did not do that. However, even when Preview.app 5.0 reloads a pdf, it
also resets the view to the first page, no matter what page you had it
on previously.

I have no real experience with Adobe Reader.

An excellent alternative to Preview.app is Skim.app. TeXShop.app also
works (but takes some fiddling in preferences to set it up for an
external editor).
