Dear Textmate-Users,
I tried to use "Preview" (5.0 (501)) as pdf viewer when creating LaTeX documents with textmate 1.5.8 (1505) on Mac OS X 10.6.1. I set the "LaTeX Preferences" in textmate accordingly (you can choose Preview there). I also set TM_LATEX_VIEWER to Preview in the textmate Preferences. I used to work with Skim that way and everything was fine. Now I was wondering if that's also the case with Preview. And it partially is. It updates the document perfectly, however, it jumps back to the first page of the document - which is annoying. In Preview you can also set "Start on the last viewed page" (see Preferences -> PDF), however, this does not solve the problem. Is Preview not supported? I get the following message on compiling .tex documents with Preview as pdf viewer: "check_open: Application appears not to understand request pdfsync is not supported for this viewer" If Preview is not supported, why is it a valid option in the LaTeX Preferences in textmate? Skim works perfectly, so there is an option. I am just curious what might be the problem with Preview.
Many thanks,
Marius

Preview doesn't integrate with synctex and therefore it doesn't work that you can jump between preview and tex-source-code via clicking into the document. I guess preview always jumps to the first page because after rendering the document it is actually a newly created document and therefore Preview doesn't know where to jump (in Skim this is handled via Synctex I guess).

Dear all,
I have a refreshing problem with LaTeX & Skim for some time now. If the pdf file is not open in Skim when I hit command-R, everything is fine. If it is already open, I get this message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telling Skim to Refresh "xxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf"...
sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any idea ? S.
