Adobe Reader X Strikes Again

On my Windows machine I use TeXnic Control Center to write and compile my Latex documents.
One of the many features I like is one click compiling of the Latex and it opens up the pdf so I can take a look.

The upgrade new version of Adobe Reader X caused this functionality to stop working. Adobe reader would open but not my document and then after a bit an error window would pop up.

After a bit of searching it appears that Adobe decided to break backward compatibility and change the DDE commands. To make Texnic work again I had to make some changes.

First in Texnic go to the build menu, Define Output Profiles and select LaTeX => PDF.
Then select the viewer tab and change each of the server names from acroview to AcroviewR10.

In one of the posts on the Adobe Forum an adobe rep stated that not only did they change it on purpose but they intend to change the version number with each new adobe version i.e. AcroviewR11.

Now to solve the second part of the problem you will need to go into the Adobe settings and disable the protected mode on startup.

These changes got me back up and running so that I could continue writing my paper. Lesson learned, do not upgrade any software when you are in the middle of writing a paper.
