General ⇒ Texniccenter + Adobe Reader 9 Problem

[tweeg]

I have the "infamous" adobe problem.

When trying to view a pdf it gives me this error:

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]

I already tried to change my commands to:

View: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
Search: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
Close: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocClose("%bm.pdf")]

i also tried to use docopen twice instead of docopen then fileopen.

Nothing seems to work for me and the last thread i found was kinda outdated.

Is there any (other) known solution?

edit: wrong subforum maybe, if any mod could move it?

Here's my working setup:
View:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]

Search:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")]

Close:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocClose("%bm.pdf")]

My OS: Win 7 Professional 64 bit
Hope I helped.

And your command is set to work for the path

Code: Select all

[...]Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

?
If yes, that's weird. It should work, but well, I hope you'll find the answer soon.

[tweeg]

Yes thats set correctly.

And yes its weird

Hi

I had exactly the same issue - spent hours trying to change stuff in the build profiles. It turned out there were updates for Acrobat 9.0 waiting to be installed on computer - after I installed and restarted all is working fine.

Hope that helps.

I have the same error; I got this right after my friend installed the update for Adobe Reader 9 so I think the update might be involved with error.

I had the same error you did. I fixed it by going to
Build...Define Output Profiles (Alt + F7)
Go to the viewer tab and click the ... under path of executable.
Go to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
or where ever your Adobe Reader is located

Hey!

I'm encountering a pretty much identical problem. I too have Windows XP and recently installed TexnicCenter and Miktex 2.9. I'm also running adobe 9. When I try to build the pdf, it says it cannot execute the command. I've tried everything already mentioned on this thread and it still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone has worked out a solution to this? I'm surely not the only one suffering from this.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same problem. Everything was working fine, until MikTex was accidentally uninstalled from my laptop. After reinstallation, I haven't been able to build any kind of output. I'm attaching a screen grab of the log.

PLEASE HELP!
