Make PDFs open with the thumbnails window open

Neat trick I picked up from here: http://www.ghostscript.com/~ghostgum/pdftips.htm Add this code: `` special{! /pdfmark [/View [/XYZ null null 1] % unspecified x and y offset, 100% zoom /Page 1 /PageMode /UseThumbs % /UseNone /UserOutlines /UseThumbs /FullScreen /DOCVIEW pdfmark }`` to a LaTeX document (probably near the top) and when you ps2pdf it, it will open the PDF with the thumbnail bar open. This is very useful for proofreading after you latex a file. Of course, xdvi also works well for this, but xdvi is VERY unstable on the Mac. At least adobe, being a native Mac program, doesn't crash as often.
