Preview as .tex pdf-viewer: Always jumps back to first page.

[mhofert]

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.
