That's easy, there is a "hidden preference" for this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Hidden_Preferences#Auto_Reload Basically, all you have to do to get rid of this question is to open a Terminal window and enter: defaults write -app Skim SKAutoReloadFileUpdate -boolean true Daniel smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?
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.

Re: Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?
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. 2011/1/31 BH > On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 12:17 PM, Murat Yildizoglu > wrote: > > I confirm that Skim is able to autoload the pdf and keep the actual view > of > > the file.

Re: Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?
I confirm that Skim is able to autoload the pdf and keep the actual view of the file. You have just tell it, the first time you update the PDF, that you want it to auto-load it (I have not found a way to tell it to auto-load without asking this question). 2011/1/31 BH > On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 11:17 AM, stefano franchi > wrote: > > 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.

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). BH
Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?
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
