Dear all, After compiling my doc I get this message [Doc open
("%bm.pdf")] [FileOpen("%bm.pdf")] and I neevr get to see the PDF
version. Does anyone know what is happening and what I can do to open
the PDF? Thanks a lot Béatrice Boulu

Do you have a PDF reader installed?

Yes I do... that is why I am a little bit confused. Plus it never
happened before.

If it's Windows, something in the Registry has gotten out of whack and
no longer knows what to do with a filename ending in ".pdf". I think you
can force it back in My Computer, under View|File Types|Add New Type or
something, and link "Open" for PDF to wherever your acroread.exe lives.

Thank you very much I will have a look. Hope it will work.

I'm almost sure you are running Windows and using TeXnicCenter to edit
your documents. It has to do with some incompatibilities with newer
versions of Acrobat Reader.
