[OS X Emacs] latex compilation in pdf via ps

[Dr. Johannes Brauer]

okay now, no more errors messages in the message buffer, but simPDFLaTex produces:

Running `simPDFLaTeX' on `document' with ``simpdftex latex --mode dvips --maxpfb --extratexopts -synctex=1
  --distiller ps2pdf14 document.tex''
### This is /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/simpdftex, Version 20070507/bin/sh: line 1: --distiller: command not found

simPDFLaTeX exited abnormally with code 127 at Mon Oct  5 12:40:01

But, running

simpdftex latex document

from the command line works fine.

Do I have to install another distiller?

oops, you're are right. This should be after the load of LaTeX:

(defvar simpdflatex-program
  "simpdftex latex --mode dvips --maxpfb --extratexopts -synctex=1
  --distiller ps2pdf14"
  "PDFLaTeX program via dvips")

(defun simpdflatex-command nil simpdflatex-program)

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda nil
            (add-to-list
    'TeX-expand-list
    '("%(simpdflatex)"
      (lambda nil
(simpdflatex-command))))
   (add-to-list
    'TeX-command-list
    '("simPDFLaTeX" "%(simpdflatex) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil
      (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run pLaTeX"))
            (add-to-list
    'TeX-command-output-list
    '("simpdftex" ("pdf")))
   ))

I put the recommended lines into my Preferences.el file.  But after
having started Aquamacs I found the following error message in the
message buffer:

...
An error has occurred while loading `~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs
Emacs/Preferences.el (or .elc)':

Symbol's value as variable is void: TeX-expand-list

...

What can I do?

The simpdftex executable (available in MacTeX and TeXLive) does the
steps for you.
This is what I do in order to use simpdftex with AucTeX (add it to
your ~/.emacs file, and you'll find a new menu entry for simpdftex):

(defvar simpdflatex-program
 "simpdftex latex --mode dvips --maxpfb --extratexopts '-synctex=1'
--distiller ps2pdf14"
 "PDFLaTeX program via dvips")

(defun simpdflatex-command nil simpdflatex-program)

(setq TeX-expand-list
      (cons '("%(simpdflatex)"  (lambda nil (simpdflatex-command)))
            TeX-expand-list))

(setq TeX-command-list
      (cons '("simPDFLaTeX" "%(simpdflatex) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil
              (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run pLaTeX")
            TeX-command-list))

(setq TeX-command-output-list
      (cons '("simpdftex" ("pdf"))
            TeX-command-output-list))

Skim synchronisation works out of the box for me.

But the great integration with the pdf-viewer Skim by Aquamacs does
not work anymore. Skim doesn't recognize that there is a new pdf
file.
The View command forces Skim to open the pdf file in a new window.

How I can repair the Skim integration?


The problem is that simpdftex does *not* reuse the PDF file. By
default. I think there was an update released to make simpdftex re-
use the formerly created PDF file, but I don't recall any details –
mostly not using the script! Could be Skim has an option to test the
file name and not the file's inode...

Hopefully someone else has the missing details!
