<div class="PlainText">Good day!<br>
<br>
I am new to the group and new to LaTeX. I have been enjoying using TeXShop but I wanted to be able to work from the Terminal on occasion. I was able to get nano to do syntax highlighting and spell check. I had to manually add the /etc/paths.d/TeX and /etc/manpaths.d/TeX
files (I am using Lion and plan to move to Mountain Lion).<br>
<br>
Now my problem. I stumbled onto pdfopen and first time through I received an acroread not found error. I created a link on my path (/usr/local/bin/acroread) and I pointed it to the executable within first Adobe Reader 9 and then Adobe Reader 10. I then tried
a bash script called acroread instead to launch the Readers with the OS X open command.<br>
<br>
Some of this worked a little. Some worked not at all. All seemed to launch X11 (which I believe is gone in Mountain Lion but can a version can be downloaded). I also used the -viewer ar9-tab with pdfopen. When it worked, the file opened in Adobe Reader but
did not reload if I issued the command again after a change.<br>
<br>
Might it somehow work with Preview?<br>
<br>
Should I just abandon the idea of using pdfopen?<br>
<br>
Is there another option for "terminal workflow" in OS X?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help,<br>
Charlie</div>
