I don't think I have ever managed to get this to work with Preview, and my 
first attempt was way before Sierra, so I'm not sure it has ever worked. (10.11 
is El Capitan, by the way ...)
I have used Acrobat Reader instead, but Preview updates the page when you 
rebuild, with Acrobat doesn't, so it's not ideal. Others have mentioned Skim, 
perhaps that's something to take a look at.
