You can use File > Revert in Preview to make it read and display the  
updated file, which feels a bit less annoying than closing and re- 
opening.

In case someone is interested and has time to work on a solution,  
Preview is not scriptable but it can be controlled through GUI  
scripting when checkbox "Enable access for assistive devices" is  
selected in the Universal Access control panel. For example:

tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Preview"
        tell menu bar 1
            click menu item "Revert" of menu "File"
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
