This is very strange, because TeXShop is able to use Acrobat...

But Acrobat is the only player, which supports playback of sound-files. (unfortunately skim won´t). Thats why I need it.

No, I think it’s in the current version of the LaTeX not possible to setup the PDF viewer to Acrobat. But this doesn’t make any sense in my view anyway, as Acrobat is very slow compared to the other viewers.

Hello,

is it possible to change the PDF Viewer to Adobe Reader /Acrobat? These are the only ones, which play sounds and movies (by using the movie15 package for example).

Thanks in advance

Disregard my previous comment. The mistake was mine and I got it fixed. plainyr-rev.bst is working great for me, and has saved me a lot of time and trouble. I actually also pulled the “month sorting” patch out of this code and added it to plainyr.bst (while reversing the numbers) and it has worked to add month sorting capabilities to that package as well. Thanks all!

Thanks a bunch!
I was trying to achieve the same thing using automater workflow which just did not work as it should.
This worked right out of the box and can be easily scripted. (which saves me days of clicking
Great stuff!

Thanks! This mostly seems to work well. I am having some trouble with the BibTex entries of type @unpubished, which I use for patents. Any suggestions about how to get this class included?

Wow, this works nicely. It took me hours to find this and so I’m glad that it exists!

I might also add that the excellent MacTex distribution is both well-developed and well-supported. As I write, the 2009 version is about to be released. Well, the maintainers keep promising...

In the meantime, the 2008 version of MacTex is working well for me. It's a decent alternative to the fink or gwTeX installs. I believe both of these are based on the teTeX distribution, which Thomas stopped supporting a year or two ago.

Thanks for the post!
