Hi,
The PDF synchronisation won't work when there is a space in the file name for example "Fundamental Mathematics.tex", you may rename it as "Fundamental_Mathematics.tex". The point is you have to avoid spaces in file name. Otherwise pdf sync wont work, forward and reverse search will be impossible.
Interestingly this problem is not because of the tex editor you use. I have tried
1) TexNic center with Sumatra PDF
2) TexMakerX
3) TexWorks
and finally came to know that the problem lies with Synctex + Miktex + Windows.
This is well known bug and solution is not yet found as per my knowledge.
If anyone knows the solution please let me know.
