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".

===Configuring Adobe Acrobat integration===
 
To setup Acrobat as the external PDF viewer, open the menu ''Build'', select ''Define Output Profiles...'', select ''LaTeX => PDF'' in the Profiles list and click the Viewer tab. Under ''Path of executable'', there are three panels corresponding to commands that TeXnicCenter sends to the viewer, namely ''View project's output'', ''Forward Search'' and ''Close document before running (La)TeX''. For each of those panels, select ''DDE command'' and enter '''acroview''' and '''control''' for the ''Server'' and ''Topic'' fields, respectively.
 
When using Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional 7.x, the ''Command'' field on panels ''View project's output'' and ''Forward Search'' can be set up with the string
[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
and, on panel ''Close document before running (La)TeX'', with
[DocClose("%bm.pdf")]


However, Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional 8.0.0 has a bug that will cause the viewer to crash when closing a document that was opened through the preceding [[Dynamic Data Exchange|DDE]] call [http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc27d26]. This problem can be worked around by prefixing the above commands with '''[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")]''', yielding the command string for ''View project's output'' and ''Forward Search''

TeXnicCenter is a free open source IDE for the LaTeX typesetting language. It uses the MiKTeX or TeX Live distributions[1]. It allows the user to type documents in LaTeX and to compile them in PDF, DVI or PS. A menu gives access to precoded elements and environments (formulas, symbols, sections). It also allows for the creation of projects to organize and access the sections and environments of documents, and to insert a bibliography (using BibTeX) and an index (using MakeIndex). TeXnicCenter was first released in 1999 by Sven Wiegand[2]. It is included in ProTeXt.

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 Reader/Professional or Foxit Reader[citation needed], when available, is configured as a viewer for the generated PDF documents. TeXnicCenter can tell Acrobat to close an opened PDF file before recompiling it with LaTeX using Dynamic Data Exchange calls[3][4].
