Re: latex compilation in pdf via ps

great, that works; thank you, Enrico!

You've written "Skim synchronisation works out of the box for me." But
after having compiled a document with simPDFLaTex Skim does'nt
recognize automatically, that the pdf file was changed. This behavior
is different from compiling with LaTex. Maybe that's the problem that
Pete mentioned (The problem is that simpdftex does *not* reuse the PDF
file. ...)?

Re: latex compilation in pdf via ps

I thought that a newer version of simpdftex was already distributed  
with TeXLive; this new version handles the modification of files  
differently, and it works with skim and friends.
Please find the new version at:
<http://www.inf.unibz.it/~franconi/upload/simpdftex-1>.

Re: latex compilation in pdf via ps

Magnificent, after I have learned that I have to replace "simpdftex"
by "simpdftex-1" all works fine.

Thanks a lot
