Texexec uses a pair of programs by Fabrice Popineau to make Acrobat automatically close and reopen the document. But this only works if it can control the file opening and closing from the start.

Interesting. I found no likely suspects among the arguments listed by texexec --help. Is this feature only available in the Scite setting? Johan

You need the pair " --pdf --autopdf " on the texexec commandline.

Thanks Taco for the explanation. When I compile my tex files by F7 the command which is executed is texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf myfile.tex but still the PDF is not refreshed for the second run. I am using Acrobat 7. I read in WinEdt's mailing list that Adobe Acrobat has changed its caption from version 6 onwards. Could this be a problem related to the versions of Acrobat? Thanks, -Hooman
