[Tex/LaTex] How to automatically refresh PDF viewer

pdftexmaker

I am a beginner in LaTex. My friend recommends me the TeXMaker. However, I don't know how to automatically refresh the "View PDF" section. It would be really convenient if I can write on left and see the output on the right. I can see the output in the right hand now, but

  1. It does not make any change if I change anything in the "quick build, even after I click the arrow next to the "View PDF"

  2. How can the output on the right hand automatically change if there is anything changed?

I appreciate if anyone can help me!

P.S.: I am a MacBook user.

Here is the setting I currently have in preference

Best Answer

Since you are a MacBook/macOS user, the Preview.app should satisfy your requirements.

In the "preferences" settings, disable the usage of 'Built-in Viewer' by activation of 'External Viewer'. The given default command 'open %.pdf' should work. If it doesn't, use 'open -a /Applications/Preview.app %.pdf' instead.
