Configuring TeXnicCenter with another pdf-viewer than Adobe

Post by Elkiaer »

Specifically I would like to configure TeXnicCenter with PDF-XChange viewer from Tracker software.

I am using the LaTeX => pdf output profile.
I succesfully made TeXnicCenter compile and open my document in the PDF-XChange viewer... when the document is not allready open.

The problem is, that when the document is open it is not possible to write on it.
What I need to do is make TeXnicCenter close the document first.
This is possible, I had no problem with this using Adobe Acrobat reader.

Under "build --> Define Output Profiles" I choose the teab "Viewer", and I figured what I need to do is to write the right code in the field "Close document before running (La)TeX".
So the question I need som help for is: What is the right code?

I allready tried choosing "DDE command" and typin "[DocClose("%bm.pdf")]"
But I think what this program needs is a "command line argument".

I hope you can help me. I really want this to work, since I am tired of Adobe.
