No. Once a document has been updated, the application quit and the  
file reopened, it then displays correctly. Opening two files prior to  
this step shows both files with no content in their previews but  
processing one, quitting the application, opening the two files shows  
the content again.

Note that normally when the preview pane is opened it displays the  
first page. In this instance when no content is displayed it is  
showing in the page counter that it is on the last page. The correct  
number of pages are showing (say, 225) and one can move backwards and  
forwards between the pages but of course, there is no content to see  
on any of them. Also, the file size indicates that the pdf does in  
fact have content and as I previously mentioned, opening it in another  
pdf viewer shows the content correctly.

As above.

Not sure what you mean. In the two cases mentioned above, both have  
includes - is that what you mean by ``distributed''?

Switching between source and preview does nothing to the preview pane  
display. Closing and opening the preview pane display also does not  
show the content. Only by quitting the application and reopening the  
file shows it correctly. It is not a refresh issue I think.

Yes, I understand but I am already on too many forums to keep track of  
now. I don't need more :)

Thanks
