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".

==Adobe Acrobat integration==
TeXnicCenter has the ability to integrate 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] and [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf Acrobat Interapplication Communication Reference]

===Integration setup===
You can insert the following lines of command in TeXnicCenter to integrate it with Acrobat. This particularly enables you to compile your files in pdf without having to close the previous document first (necessary in the default option).
 
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.
 
===Without forward search===
To simply (re)open the document in the Acrobat Reader, use :
view project's output:
[x] DDE command
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
server: acroview
topic: control
 
forward search:
[x] DDE command
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
server: acroview
topic: control
 
Close document before running (La)TeX:
[x] DDE command
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocClose("%bm.pdf")]
server: acroview
topic: control
 
===Manual forward search===
Alternatively, the following command can be used for "view project's output" and "forward search". It opens the pdf-document on page <pageno>+1:
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocGoTo("%bm.pdf",<pageno>)]
 
===Semi-automatic forward search===
A much more useful solution would be to use the [http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html <tt>hyperref</tt> package]:
 
1. Make sure the <tt>hyperref</tt> package is loaded: <tt>\usepackage{hyperref}</tt>
 
2. Define the following command: <tt>\def\acrobat{\hyperdef{jump}{here}{}}</tt>
 
3. Change the "view project's output" and "forward search" DDE command (as described earlier on) to:
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocGoToNameDest("%bm.pdf","jump.here")]
 
4. Use somewhere in the text (usually, where you are currently working…) the new command <tt>\acrobat</tt> and, after (re)opening, the reader should jump to that location.
 
Note that steps 1. and 2. have to be done in the header of your document. If you use pdfTeX, you should load the <tt>hyperref</tt> package via <tt>\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}</tt>; if you use dvips, load it using <tt>\usepackage[dvips]{hyperref}</tt>. If several <tt>\acrobat</tt> commands are issued, the reader always jumps to the "latest" one.
 
===Open and jump back to previous position===
If you want Acrobat to reopen the file after a recompilation at the exact same location as it was just before, and ''if you have the full version of Acrobat'' (the following is ''not'' supported by the free Acrobat Reader!) set the "view project's output" and "forward search" DDE command to:
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")][MenuitemExecute("GoBack")]
 
Note that Adobe Reader supports only the following DDE messages: AppExit, CloseAllDocs, DocClose, DocGoTo, DocGoToNameDest, DocOpen, FileOpen, FilePrint, FilePrintEx, FilePrintSilent, and FilePrintTo. In order to support the MenuitemExecute functionality, a full version of Adobe Acrobat is required.

TeXnicCenter is a free open source 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 PDF, DVI or 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".

Adobe Acrobat integration

TeXnicCenter has the ability to integrate 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 calls to Acrobat, documented in Acrobat Interapplication Communication Overview and Acrobat Interapplication Communication Reference
