I experience similar problems in OS X 10.4.1, but basically in all  
PDF viewers: TeXShop, BibDesk (the LaTeX preview window) Preview,  
Acrobat and the Schubert-IT's Browser Plug-in. Thus it seems to me  
that this is rather a bug in OS X than some application specific thing.
Sometimes just certain parts of the documents show up on the screen,  
for example I just opened my thesis with TeXShop and all I can see in  
the PDF viewer is the chapter, section and subsection headings - even  
after I typeset the document. Typesetting it for the 3rd time  
actually displays everything fine. I haven't had any problems when  
printing PDFs though.

Cheers,
Christian
