Re: [MiKTeX] Problem with WinEdt/MikTeX/Acrobat Reader X interaction

Dear Jason Crampton,

As Alex Simonic wrote on  May 31 2011:
``DDE Service Acroview has to be changed to AcroviewR10 or
AcroviewA10 (depending on whether you are using Adobe Reader of
Acrobat). WinEdt 6 is better at automatically adjusting the value
but that can fail if Adobe decides to change things again or if
your registry contains conflicting values''
In my case the change to ``AcroviewR10'' worked.

Good luck,

Subject: [MiKTeX] Problem with WinEdt/MikTeX/Acrobat Reader X 
interaction


Hi!

My employer has recently given me a new laptop running Windows 7, 
WinEdt 5.5,
MikTeX 2.9 and Acrobat Reader X.  Having compiled a LaTeX source file 
to pdf,
WinEdt opens Acrobat Reader (as usual), but then an error message is 
generated
and the file "Acrobat OpenDoc.edt" opens in WinEdt in which the 
following line
is highlighted:  DDEOpen('%$("AcroRead")',"acroview","control",0).  
This line is
part of the following block:

:Exit:: ----------------------------------------------------------
  // Just in case ...
  Run('%$("AcroRead"); "%P\%N.pdf"');
  ProcessMessages;
  // DDE: Required for Adobe 8!
  DDEOpen('%$("AcroRead")',"acroview","control",0);
  DDEExe('[FileOpen("%P\%N.pdf")]');
  DDEExe('[DocOpen("%P\%N.pdf")]');
  DDEExe('[DocOpen("%P\%N.pdf")]');
  DDEExe('[FileOpen("%P\%N.pdf")]');
  DDEExe('[AppShow()]');
  DDEClose;
  ProcessMessages;

I guess that I have to edit this file, but I don't know how.  I did not 
get this
error when running previous versions of Acrobat Reader.  Any 
suggestions
welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.
