<hr />
<div>'''TeXnicCenter''' is a [[free software|free]] [[open source]] program, [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] for LaTeX in Windows, using the [[MiKTeX]] distribution. It allows the user to type documents in [[LaTeX]] and to compile them in [[PDF]]. A menu gives the possibility to access easily to precoded elements and environments (formulas, symbols, sections). It also makes possible to create projects to organise and access the sections and environments of your document and to insert a bibliography (using [[BibTeX]]) and an index (using [[MakeIndex]]). <br />
<br />
==Acrobat integration==<br />
TeXnicCenter has the ability to integrate nicely with [[Adobe Acrobat]], such that recently compiled PDF files are opened automatically, and existing open PDF files are closed automatically upon recompilation. This is done using ''[[Dynamic data exchange|DDE]] calls'' to Acrobat, documented in [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACOverview.pdf Acrobat Interapplication Communication Overview]<br />
<br />
===Integration setup===<br />
You can insert the following lines of command in TeXnicCenter to integrate it with Acrobat. This will particularly enables you to compile your files in pdf without having to close the previous document first (necessary in the default option).<br />
Integration is setup in the ''Build'' | ''Define Output Profiles'' menu option. Select a profile "LaTeX=>PDF" or "LaTeX=>PS=>PDF", and click on the viewer window :<br />
