Using winEDT 5 (v5.6) with Adobe Reader 10

---

When using WinEDT 5 to edit .tex files and using Adobe Reader 10 to view the pdf output on compiling the .tex files, the following error comes up :

Cannot Open DDE Link to: “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Service: Acroview
Topic: Control
DDEOpen(“%$(‘PDF-View’)”,”%$(‘Acro-DDE_Service’);”,”%$(‘Acro-DDE_Topic’);”);

Solution:

• Open the file Adobe opendocs.edt. (if the error appears while compiling a .tex file, then .edt file will open automatically
  
• Line 106 of the document should read : DDEOpen(‘%$(“AcroRead”)’,”acroview”,”control”);
• Change the line to : DDEOpen(‘%$(“AcroRead”)’,”acroviewR10”,”control”);
• Save the .edt file
• This should fix the error
