I'm using Reader 9.4, TXC 2.0 alpha 3 and MikTeX 2.8, and it's working with these settings (on Win XP Pro).

I solved similar problems to those described here by others by going back to Adobe Reader 8.2 version 8.2.0.81.
Neither reader 9 nor X worked satisfactorily either at home or at the office.
I run MiKTeX 2.7 still because I like being able to create my own custom output profiles, for instance to go from dvi to ps and then to pdf with the push of the "build" button.
My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 at home and an up to date Windows 7 in the office.

This sounds like there is a misunderstanding, so reading up on information about how TXC and MikTeX work together is advisable. Maybe this (the whole "Windows Installation" section) helps you.
Please excuse if I'm mistaken.

My experience is similar. I tried to move some working .tex documents from TexnicCenter on Windows XP, MikTek 2.8, Acrobat Reader 9.0 to Windows 7, MikTek 2.9, Acrobat Reader 10. To think this was going to be straightforward was a mistake. The first problem was the problem of packages not being installed on the fly, which took a while to figure out. This has been covered in earlier posts. The next problem was that .jpg files which were included with the graphics package were not found, even though they were on the path specified in the pathname to the files. The solution to this was to remove that path names completely and have the .jpg files in the same directory as the .tex file. Thirdly, the LaTeX => PDF profile refused to understand the command [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
which hung the Acrobat reader for about 10 seconds each time. The solution to this was to change the Server name in the Forward Search panel to acroviewR10. Although this sounds straightforward, the actual time spent googling and retrying probably amounted to 6 hours. It seems little care is given to backward compatibility in all the products involved. Anyway, if other people are contemplating this 'upgrade' my experience may save a lot of frustration.

Aristotle, thank goodness someone on the entire web was able to figure this out and post a solution. I've been searching for hours.

Setting Forward search to "acroviewR10" worked for me, too. No, it did not save me any frustration, but I did get an answer to my problem. Note that I also had to update the Close setting. I wonder why we only had to update the Forward search setting and not the Open setting?

Also, I'd like to chip in and agree with you that Adobe seems to have completely ignored backward compatibility. What a half-assed programming!

This is a very known issue, see:

http://www.miktex.org/2.9/issues

Solution: Either use the workaround given in the link above or use a proper LaTeX editor instead of TeXnicCenter, e.g. TeXworks which ships with MikTeX.

I don't see anything on that page discussing the issue with Adobe Reader.

I'm curious why you consider TeXnicCenter a non-proper LaTeX editor and what you don't like about it? I'm new to LaTeX, and I have mixed reviews of TXC. It's pretty useful, but seems to have a few nuisance bugs. And I'm not sure I blame TXC for the Adobe issue, either. Adobe installed into a different directory and renamed their server, how was TXC to know that? Anyway, I'm curious for your opinion and appreciate your feedback.

Me, too. It seems that I've posted this in the wrong thread, I'm sorry.
