If I remember correctly, there are two things to do: 1) configure Emacs so the latex command invokes synctex, and 2) start the server so synctex can use emacsclient to get back to the running instance of Emacs. These steps are fully documented and you should be able to find them. These steps let you jump from a pdf file back into the LaTeX document, but not from the LaTeX document to the pdf file. I believe that the ability to jump from the LaTeX file to the pdf file in Aquamacs is due to some code written expressly for Aquamacs. HTH, Tom -- Tom Dye T. S. Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc.
