How to automatically refresh a PDF document open in macOS Preview when the underlying file is modified? [closed]

Question

I’m writing in LaTeX on a macOS machine, while using the preinstalled Preview.app for viewing the compiled document. After the LaTeX file is recompiled, Preview.app:

1. does not refresh the PDF automatically, and
2. refreshes when I click its window, but jumps to the top of the document.

I’m wondering whether there is a way to configure it so that Preview.app:

1. refreshes automatically when the underlying PDF file changes, and
2. after refreshing, stays on the same page.

Answer 1

I have been annoyed with this myself and, unfortunately, I only have a “hacked” solution for you.

You can view the PDF in the Single Page mode (activated by the ⌘+2 shortcut) to stay on the same page when the file is updated.

I hope someone posts a permanent solution that works in the Continuous Scroll mode.
