Just as importantly, neither does the following work:
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional.lnk" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
(I activated the LNK extension in the control panel so that Acrobat will
start in the same position as the last run; just declaring Acrobat.exe
will make Acrobat/Reader forget its last position and start with the
default.)
If I put the LNK in a batch file (say view.bat) I can get Acrobat to open
but the file does not open:
view "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
Even if I declare the name of the file it does not work:
view "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\foo.pdf"
Please advise!
(It is also somewhat frustrating that I have not gotten a single response
to any of my posts. I have invested many hours learning\configuring
Notepad++ and I would be very grateful to get some feedback; if my posts
are unwelcome for some reason I would love to know the reason why!)

Hi,
I am trying to get Notepad++ to launch Acrobat to view the pdf version of
a tex file. The following command does not work:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
"$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"

Hi,
Thank you for the advice! This morning I actually found a solution: put the Acrobat lnk shortcut in a directory that's already in the PATH and run
Acrobat "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
Thank you again for your response!

Hi
I have no idea. Execute cmd in notepad++ is sometimes strange. But try to see in batch passing argument is command line is ok using echo command.
In your batch
You can try to make a cd on the on the pdf document directory and make start your_doc.pdf
I hope that will help you
