Quick Build and Acrobat

Post by jonfucius »

Greetings all,

I have created a Quick Build command that runs PdfLaTeX, Bibtex, PdfLaTeX twice more, and then opens Acrobat to display the finished PDF. The command works perfectly every time, but I cannot window back into Texmaker while the Acrobat window is open; I get the "program is busy" cursor when I mouse over the Texmaker window, as though it is still compiling the document. I can regain access to Texmaker once I close Acrobat, but I like having the PDF open in case I need to edit the LaTeX code (much like the default action in TeXnicCenter). I have attached my Quick Build command line. Thank you!

Code: Select all

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|bibtex %.aux|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf|
LaTeX Distibutions: MiKTeX 2.8/MacTeX
Editors: TeXnicCenter/TeXShop
