Is there a PDF viewer featuring auto update for WinEdt? [WinEdt V 5.5 on WinVista machine]
I find WinEdt very comfortable to work with but the fact that one has to re-open Acrobat after every compilation and jump to the correct page is a big nuisance!
Okay jumping on the old horse! ;-)
Meanwhile Acrobat Reader X offers some simple possibilities for PDF annotations. If you want to do more you can use the pdfcomment package, e.g. for your examples:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[rgb]{xcolor}
\usepackage[author={Max Schlepzig}]{pdfcomment}
\begin{document}
Here we\pdfcomment[color=red,icon=Insert]{insert: miss} a word!
You can do much more \pdfmarkupcomment[markup=Squiggly,color=green]{with pdfcomment}{move to the front}.
This is a \pdfmarkupcomment[markup=StrikeOut,color=red]{stupid}{replace stupid with funny} game!
\pdfmarkupcomment[markup=Highlight,color=yellow]{Of course, you can highlight complete sentences.}{Highlight}
This is very\pdfcomment[icon=Note,color=blue]{insert graphic!} interesting!
\end{document}
The problem with Acrobat is that they changed the naming convention for DDE commands. For the version 11 you have to use AcroviewA11, for version 9 and before it was and has to be Acroview.
In question pdfopen-pdfclose user @user24452 showed how to do this. My answer showed how you can integrate also SumatraPDF into WinEdt.
As you wrote in your comment, after changing AcroviewA11 to Acroview use Ctrl+Shift+F9.

Adobe is not designed to work with winedt or tex, but sumatrapdf is. I suggest using sumatrapdf with winedt. It also works seemlessly with forward and inverse search features.
With winedt 5.x:
Download sumatrapdf from this site, and install. Open winedt, go to
Options--->Execution Modes:In the window that opens, click the
Acrobattab and make the paths to sumatrapdf available as in this picture:Once the paths are set, click OK and your winedt will start using sumatrapdf as the viewer.
