You need to uncomment (delete the // and ?) in front of the lines:

 

Assign('AcroRead','"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Reader\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"'); // Adobe Reader

 

and

 

Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Reader");
 

Then save the file (make sure its name is Startup.edt). If you then close winedt and reopen it should work fine.

 

Hope you have some success,

Regards,

Alex.

unfortunately, my joy with above solution was very short ... after two
or three tests, it doesn't work any more! probably i do something very
wrong, but i cannot see, what ...

I change the following lines in startup.edt:

  // Manually assign Acrobat [Reader] if WinEdt did not find it in the
registry:
  //? Assign('AcroRead','"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Reader\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"'); // Adobe Reader
  // Manually Assign the Caption (Title) as displayed in your version
of Acrobat
  //? Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Reader");
  // or perhaps
  //? Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Acrobat Professional");
  // or perhaps
  // Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Acrobat CE");
  // For "hackers only" (message ID for Adobe Reader's
  // "View -> Go To -> Previews View" menu item - version dependent):
  //? Assign("Acro-BackMenuItem","6085");

and then store it. as I already mentioned, first test work o.k., but
after closing WinEdt and their starting again, the old troubles arrive
again ...

i again don't know, what to do, its look like that the Adobe
Proffesional will be my destiny for while ... or can you give me advice
again?

regards, Zarko
