Adobe Acrobat and Reader Texshop Engines 1.0

Adobe Acrobat and Reader Texshop Engines contains two engines for using Adobe Acrobat Pro (tested with version 9.0.0) and Adobe Reader (tested with version 9.3.2) to preview PDF's created with TeXShop.

In order to install Adobe Acrobat and Reader Texshop Engines you must place them in "~/Library/TeXShop/Engines", while making sure they are executable.

To use the Acrobat engine place the line "% !TEX TS-program = Acrobat-Preview" (no quotes, of course) at the beginning of your LaTeX file (among the first 20 lines), then Typeset.

For the Reader engine similarly use "% !TEX TS-program = Reader-Preview".

Both engines are setup to use Herb Schultz's pdflatexmk engine, so you have to modify them if you have a different preference. Moreover, both engines require that in TeXShop's preferences you have "[a]ll windows start at fixed position" (when you set this you must quit and relaunch TeXShop so that it updates its preferences on disk).

The Adobe Acrobat Pro Engine, remembers the window position and dimensions, and the page the document was in between different runs.

The Adobe Reader Engine is more limited and it requires that you open System Preferences and check  Enable Access for Assistive Devices in the Universal Access  preference pane.

Requirements:

· TeXShop
