[Skim-app-users] Buggy wiki for PDFSync

[Rasmus Diederichsen]

I have no source forge account so I cannot open issues there, so I post this here.
Reading the Wiki page <https://sourceforge.net/p/skim-app/wiki/TeX_and_PDF_Synchronization/> for tex-pdf synchronisation, I cannot help but notice a seemingly incorrect statement.
I tried to get forward and backward search to work with (Mac)vim.
For forward search, it reads
map ,r :w<CR>:silent !/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline <C-r>=line('.')<CR> %<CR>
This results in an error, because Skim cannot open .tex files. Instead of % at the end it should be “%<.pdf” or similar, to get the pdf file of the same name as the tex file.

Regards,
Rasmus

I’ve fixed that, see if that works.
