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
