[Vim-latex-devel] Opening file with acrord in windows

[Aditya M. <adi...@al...>]

Hi,
  In windows, there is a problem re-viewing the pdf file in Acrord. To 
reproduce this problem, write a sample latex code, set output format 
to pdf (:TTarget pdf) and compile the file. Then open the file by \lv
Acrobat Reader is launched and the file shows correctly. Now close the 
file in Acrobat Reader (Do not close the reader!) and from within vim, 
try viewing the file again by \lv. Acrobat gives an error saying 
"There is an error opening the document, the file could not be found"

  It turns out that the error occurs because acrobat reader does not 
recognize the directory from which it was launched. This is easy to 
see. CD to a directory having a pdf file, say test.pdf and on command 
prompt type
acrord32 file.pdf

Acrobat Reader will give the same error. It can locate the file if the 
complete file path is mentioned. So one needs to modify 
latex-suite/compiler.vim as follows

259: let mainfname = Tex_GetMainFileName(':p:r')
262: let mainfname = expand("%:p:r")

Note that I have changed "%:p:t:r" to "%:p:r" so that mainfname points 
to the complete path of the file.

Now \lv calls
  :!start Acrord32 "complete_path_to_file/file.pdf"
and the file shows correctly. Also the filename is surrounded with 
quotes, so everything should be fine.
