Christian was kind enough to provide a pointer an article that leads here.

1. go to http://vocaro.com/trevor/software/applescript/ (the
maintainer of the page is some other Trevor, not me)

2. scroll down and download the "Reload Preview Document" applescript

3. unzip the resulting applescript and put somewhere on the filesystem
such that PATH knows about the script

4. the usage is then

 osascript "Reload Preview Document.scpt" foo.pdf
