[OS X TeX] latex->dvips->Distiller->Acrobat Professional

[Claus Gerhardt]

Have a look at
http://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/refreshpdf.zip

Insert the name of your version Acrobat Prof. at the appropriate place  
and combine the resulting script with

~/Library/Flashmode/Applescripts-modular/altpdflatex_cpl.scpt

which will be available when Flashmode is installed. Don't forget to  
set the required symlink to TeXLive (read the instructions).
