[OS X TeX] Getting AlphaTk to Acrobat Reader

[Michael Murray]

I fixed my own problem with the following hack:

(1)  Create a file  ~/bin/pdfview

containing the lines


#!/bin/sh

open -a "/Applications/Acrobat Reader 5.0" $1

(2)  Set this file to be executable. Ie in terminal do

chmod ugo+x /bin/pdfview


(3) Put

setenv  PATH  "${PATH}:/Users/yourusername/bin"

in your .cshrc or by some other method add ~/bin to your path.

(4) Do the command rehash or I guess log in and out.

(5)  Now setup AlphaTk as per the instructions before or on the web 
page to think that pdfview is its View PDF helper.


--------

Possibly you could get TeXShop and OzTeX to run this way as well.
