LaTeX to PDF: automatically close last PDF
I am new in LaTex. I use Adobe Acrobat 9. When I compile a LaTeX document, I would like close the last view of the PDF document automatically.
Right now, I must do it manually, otherwise an error message appears.
Is it possible at all?
Thanks

LaTeX to PDF: automatically close last PDF
I suggest to try Sumatra PDF. It works well with TeXnicCenter (TXC) and offers forward and inverse search through SyncTeX. Moreover it refreshes an opened file automatically and doesn't lock it like the Reader does. And it allows to start the Reader with the current file. For the upcoming TXC2 it will be the default viewer in case it is installed before even if the Reader is also present on the system.daljurerey wrote:[...] I am new in LaTex. I use Adobe Acrobat 9.
