Using Preview.app as a TeX/LaTeX previewer
Authored by: bynkii on Mar 21, '04 10:51:16AM

actually, Acrobat Professional is highly scriptable. It has both Javascript and AppleScript implementations. The AppleScript dictionary is so broken as to be useless, but it's there.

The Javascript implementation in Acrobat is top-flight though, and you can do more with Javascript than you can with the plugin APIs.

Acrobat is a production tool. For it to be completely unautomatable would be stupid.

Almost as stupid as Preview not being scriptable.
