I prefer BBEdit as my text editor, so I need a separate pdf-viewer.

Preview really doesn't work as a previewer for BBEdit, as there is no  
AppleScript support. The current version will reload a pdf file if the  
file has changed, and preview is (manually or by a script) brought to  
the foreground.

TeXShop as a preview interferes too much with my workflow, my scripts  
will handle the typesetting in a way that I like them (including the  
use of draft mode at the early stages of a multi-run document build).

Skim does exactly what I need, with the nice control through  
AppleScript.
