Could this be a problem related to the versions of Acrobat? I wouldn't think so. Perhaps texexec cannot find pdfopen?

From the messeage at the end of the compilation, I can see that 'pdfopen' can't be found on the system. Taco's guess was correct. Is this command part of TeX implementation or I should download it from somewhere? ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Automatic re-opening of the file only works if you start by opening the file from F7 (so that it is 'controlled' by texexec). This is a known limitation in the Reader --that cannot re-read a file on its own-- and windows --that uses a mandatory file locking mechanism--. 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.
