'''TeXnicCenter''' is a [[free software|free]] [[open source]] [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] for the [[LaTeX]] typesetting language. It uses the [[MiKTeX]] or [[TeX Live]] distributions. It allows the user to type documents in LaTeX and to compile them in [[Portable Document Format|PDF]], [[DVI file format|DVI]] or [[PostScript|PS]]. A menu gives access easily to precoded elements and environments (formulas, symbols, sections). It also allows for the creation of projects to organise and access the sections and environments of documents, and to insert a bibliography (using [[BibTeX]]) and an index (using [[MakeIndex]]).

To use TeXLive 2005 distribution, you need to make a minor change to the output profiles by replacing each of the output argument options with their Unix format variants (even for running on Windows), e.g. the command line arguments "%pm" becomes "%Pm" and "%bm" becomes "%Bm".

==Interoperability with other software==

TeXnicCenter has been designed to work with the [[MiKTeX]] distribution. After installation, TeXnicCenter recognizes MiKTeX and sets up the paths to command-line compilers bundled with MiKTeX automatically. Similarly, [[Adobe Acrobat|Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional]] and [[Foxit Reader|Foxit Reader]], when available, is configured as a viewer for the generated PDF documents. Acrobat can also be configured to close an opened PDF file before recompiling it with LaTeX. These operations are accomplished using [[Dynamic Data Exchange]] calls, documented in [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACOverview.pdf Acrobat Interapplication Communication Overview] and [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf Acrobat Interapplication Communication Reference].

Instructions on how to set up TeXnicCenter to work with Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional 7.x can be found in [http://texnik.dante.de/cgi-bin/mainFAQ.cgi?file=gui/TeXnikCenter]. The same instructions apply to Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional 8.0.0, but the [[Dynamic Data Exchange|DDE]] calls have to be modified as proposed in [http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc27d26] because of a bug in this version of Acrobat.
