I am using MikTeX 2.8, WinEdt 5.4 and Acrobat X, and pdftexify always produces an error, even though the pdf document is actually produced: it opens up a document in WinEdt called "Acrobat OpenDoc.edt" and displays a warning:
"Cannot Open DDD Link to: "C … Acrobat.exe" Service: acroview Topic:
control DDEOpen(%$("AcroRead"),"acroview","control");
Help, anyone?

Adobe is not designed to work with winedt. Adding to the pain, the DDE controls of Adobe keep changing with its versions. For more details you may refer to winedt mailing list.
A solution will be to use a friendly reader like sumatrapdf which works well with winedt (in forward and reverse search). It doesn't lock the opened files like adobe reader.
