Using Preview has a big plus: it is the default pdf viewer of Mac, and 
has indeed many flexible features. And like you, its inability to refresh 
automatically the modified file.pdf is very irritating. But may be 
we should write about this to Preview's developer: if someone gives me 
their contact email address, I will write to them.

For now, I use the 2nd (quite convenient) of the following two 
workarounds:

1. In Preview' menu:
    File -> Reload

I do not like this way because it Reloads the modified fresher version of 
file.pdf, but on page 1, regardless of the last viewed page.

2. If, during viewing the file.pdf, I realize that I need to modify it, I 
just close it with Command (Apple/Clover)+W. Then, with the subsequent 
View from Emacs, Preview opens the file.pdf on the last viewed page.
