Hi,
This fairly simple change does exactly what I want- preserves the current
rotation on a file refresh. It takes the rotation of the current page and
applies that rotation to all pages of the refreshed document- if you have
documents with different applied rotations for individual pages then
Please try to understand each other. Adam's last E-mail is quite useful and
perhaps may cut through this Gordian discussion knot ;-)
If I may try to sum up as clearly as possible: Page orientation is only stored
in the individual page objects, all different instantiations (I hope I got this

My program (lister) creates the image in landscape mode by using the
PostScript rotate and moveto functions.

all these objects are discarded and the information is lost (unless
you would first save it).

Alternately, you could hack Skim to get each page's rotation and
apply it to the new document when you reload, or store a flag
somewhere indicating that you had previously rotated pages.
I looked at the available tools and checked again.
Adam:
I believe you overlooked Tools-Rotate Page Left and Tools-Rotate
Page Right on the main menu. As in most applications, toolbar
buttons are only a subset of all possible actions.
Thanks much for taking the time to point out that, I had indeed missed
it.
From what you said, all the

The simplest solution is to forget the detailed rotations but to keep
the global changes, just as the page is kept - even though it may be
inconsistent in some cases. The user will understand what they have
done! Is that a resonable

Page rotation is not a view setting, it's part of the PDF data That's why this
is not not a bug. Behavior is also consistent with e.g. Preview. So your
expectation is wrong. It won't work properly for many reasons, the once I

Hi,
hmm... well its the view settings we were discussing. The pdf file obviously
contains orientation settings (Thomas made it clear they are not part of the
discussion)- when viewing the pdf the user can choose the view settings,
like the zoom/pan and page orientation. That's what the items in

Skim clearly holds a single parameter defining the display orientation
of ALL pages for the entire document. It is NOT, I repeat, NOT the
rotation of individual pages independently.
Your repetition of this reminds me of a favorite quote [1].
I am using Skim to watch a PDF using the refresh mechanism. Another
program creates the PDF and replaces it and Skim shows the changes so
I don't have to do any mousing. (Automation is provided by my
atchange program, http://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/atchange.html.) This
works beautifully.

Thanks for responding.
Why not use the revert command through AppleScript or osascript to
reload the file? That is safer and more efficient than having Skim
watch it for changes. I suspect it's also possible to get/set the
rotation in that same script, but Christiaan would know for
