iTeXMac built in PDF Viewer

The built in iTeXMac PDF Viewer uses apple internal PDF renderer, together with its limitations and bugs... So, it does not support links nor genie effects as high quality viewers. Also, the PDF Viewer is very sensitive to Mac OS system updates, because the PDF renderer is a central and sensitive part of Mac OS X. It may happen that some PDF files produced by pdftex or ghostscript do not show in iTeXMac. In such a situation, try your file with both Preview and Acrobat Reader (which uses a private PDF rendering engine). If Preview accepts your file, there might be a bug in iTeXMac, please report. Otherwise, if Acrobat Reader accepts your file, report a bug to Apple and wait for a system upgrade.
