TexStudio og SumatraPDF
Use SumatraPDF instead of adobe reader and foxit. SumatraPDF doesn't lock the pdf, blocking the latex compiler from writing to it. If you want both forward and inverse search in one command it can also be done. Options (in the menu bar) -> Configure TeXstudio ... -> Commands (tab on the left) Set "External PDF Viewer" to "C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance -inverse-search "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/TeXstudio/texstudio.exe\" \"%%f\" -line %%l" -forward-search "?c:am.tex" @ "?am.pdf" Remember to change the paths to Sumatra and Texlive.
