TeXnic Center Running a file while the PDF is Open

Question

I am having trouble with running the .tex file, while the PDF output is open. It does not allow me to run the file while it is open, thus I need to close it in order to run the .tex file. Is there any way to overcome this?

p.s: I am doing it in Dropbox. Can this be the reason?

Perhaps you need to configure the viewer setting in TeXnicCenter as follows.

I am assuming that you use Adobe Acrobat Reader 32 bit version 10.x.

Alternatively, you could use SumatraPDF for your viewer. It doesn't lock the PDF file the way Adobe Reader does. – Mike Renfro Jul 13 '12 at 15:00
