This isn't a huge problem but it has really been annoying me for awhile now. I was hoping you could tell me how to get Adobe Reader or Mac Preview to automatically refresh with my changes to a TeX document. The way it is now, I have to manually shut down the program and then hit preview again. Any help would be great. -Dave Hi,

I am quite new to OSX and had some problems to configure the viewers in TeXlipse. I was not aware that I was needing to give the full path to Skim, including the part in the Package. Now it works beatifully! Thanks a lot! Thank you very much! I am quite new to OSX and had some problems to configure the viewers in TeXlipse.

I have two makeindex.exe commands that have to be executed while building, one is for generating an index, the other is for nomencl, Is there a way where i can define my own build command, such as pdflatex+bibtex+makeindex+makeindex+pdflatex?

The problem with acrobat is that it gets installed in a folder that contains spaces. For some reason, the texlipse plugin doesn't like those spaces. So, just remove the spaces from the path to Adobe Reader folder and point the path to /path/to/reader.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader. This is the file that Mac OS X really executes when you execute the .app file. In more detail, what I did is the following: 1. Install Adobe Acrobat Reader 2. Go to the Applications folder and rename the "Adobe Reader" folder to "AdobeReader" (just remove the space). 3. Rename the .app file into something that again doesn't contain spaces. e.g. acroread.app 4. Set the path to /path/to/acroread.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader in texlipse. 5. Run the preview! let me know if this worked for you :) regards, Asterios Hi,

I still have one problem left. When I try to preview, I get an error that it can't find Adobe Reader. I've configured the path correctly, I think. I have Texclipse installed on Windows and have things properly configured there, so I have some experience, but I'm new to the Mac and must be missing something simple. Any ideas?
