[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

activating the preview package with TikZ results in
! Undefined control sequence.
\@outputpage ...istfalse \@parboxrestore \shipout
                                                 \vbox {\set <at> 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 <at> shipout. Commenting out \usepackage[active]{preview} makes the
\shipout command available.

Best regards,
Eugene

This is an example with TikZ where Preview-LaTeX works without problems
for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[displaymath,floats,graphics,footnotes,textmath]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}

\begin{document}

This is inline math $a+b=c$ and this is displayed
\[ a+b=c \]

This is a TikZ\footnote{And a footnote} picture\\[3ex]
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[thick,fill=yellow!50] (0,0) circle (3);
  \draw[thick,fill=orange!50] (0,0) circle (2.4);
  \foreach \letter [count=\i] in {A,...,Z} {
    \draw[very thin] (0,0) -- ({90-\i*360/26}:3);
    \path (0,0) --node[pos=.9,sloped,allow upside down,rotate=-90]
    {\letter} ({360/52+90-\i*360/26}:3);
  }
  \foreach \letter [count=\i] in {G,H,...,Z,A,B,...,F} {
    \path (0,0) --node[pos=.7,sloped,allow upside down,rotate=-90]
    {\small\letter} ({360/52+90-\i*360/26}:3);
  }
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% TeX-engine: luatex
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The result how it looks in Emacs is attached.  Maybe you can create a
real-life document instead of an empty one exhibiting your problem?
Also provide the version of Emacs and AUCTeX you're using.

Best, Arash

No problem, you're welcome.  I will close this issue.
