General ⇒ Acrobat DDE commands for Latex=>PS=>PDF profile

[agestrada]

Hello,
I'm trying to use this DDE command configuration:

Code: Select all

view project's output:  [v] DDE command.
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")][MenuitemExecute("GoBack")]
server: acroview
topic: control
forward search: [v] DDE command.
command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")][MenuitemExecute("GoBack")]
server: acroview
topic: control
Close document before running (La)TeX: [v] DDE command
command: [DocClose("%bm.pdf")]
server: acroview
topic: control

But they only work with the Latex=>PDF output profile. When I use Latex=>PS=>PDF profile I get a "cannot execute command" error for this commands:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]

I would like to use this profile because I'm using \psfrag for the figures. Any idea how can I solve this?... I 've tried SumatraPDF but it also gives error for the same profile.

Seems to me that you have forgotten to adapt the path for the Adobe Reader. Probably you did a mistake during adaptation. You have to check very carefully all settings for that profile.

Hello,

I think that my path to Acrobat Reader is ok:

Code: Select all

C:\ARCHIVOS DE PROGRAMA\ADOBE\ACROBAT 6.0\ACROBAT\ACROBAT.EXE

Actually, it works fine if I don't try to use DDE commands, and it's the same profile that I was using until now to compile. But when I try to use the DDE commands they don't work. If I use them with LATEX=>PDF they work as expected.

Thanks,

Under the postprocessor tab of the build profile, what postprocessors are listed?

Here is the solution. It works for Latex=>Ps=>PDF.
In acrobat 8, Menu 'Edit - preferences', and in section 'Documents', uncheck option 'Show each document in its own Window'. Now, check next option in the list. Restart acrobat and it is done!!!.
