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
