[OS X Emacs] sync with Skim

[David Reitter]

Sorry, what do you mean?
I thought the OP was complaining about the main pdf (of the whole  
document) not updating.

AFAIK Preview doesn't generate PDFs at all.
AUCTeX still uses the outdated DVI-PS-PNG (or GIF?) route.  If they  
used PDF, we could make the whole process so much faster and less  
dependent on third-party add-ons.
