Hello, activating the preview package with TikZ results in ! Undefined control sequence. \@outputpage ...istfalse \@parboxrestore \shipout \vbox {\set@typeset @protec... The MWE (this and the log files are attached): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage[active]{preview} % \PreviewEnvironment[]{tikzpicture} \listfiles \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Uncommenting the \PreviewEnvironment command changes the undefined command to \pr@shipout. Commenting out \usepackage[active]{preview} makes the \shipout command available. Best regards, Eugene
