[Math] Automatically updating PDF reader for Windows

latex

So, when doing LaTeX, it is absolutely necessary for ones sanity to using a preview program which updates automatically every time you compile. Of course, any previewer designed for DVIs will do this, but as far I can tell, Adobe Acrobat not only does not automatically update, but will not let you change the PDF with it open.

On a Mac one can get around this by using Skim, and on *nix by using xpdf, but what should one do on Windows?

Best Answer

Use SumatraPDF. It is a lightweight pdf viewer which updates automatically. It also allows syncing with TeXnicCenter and WinEdt.
