Hi,
When compiling a file in SciTE using F7, if the file, is already open in Adobe Acrobat, the compilation stops and asks for a new file name to write the PDF file to. I think the normal behavior would be to automatically close the current instance of the file in Acrobat and compile it again.
This is not the answer to your question, but perhaps it could help you. I started using GhostView for viewing my own PDF files. It doesn't lock the file, it refreshes the view each time the file changes and keeps the document open on the same page & position with the same magnification. So if you're working on page 137 of your document and need proper magnification, you don't need to close the document, compile, open, go to page 137, adjust magnification and repeat this step again each time you make some change.
