Re: Is acroread blind, or ps2pdf pitiless?

So, what really happens is that ps2pdf is sorrowful but acroread is
deaf...

Hi,

When compiling any .tex document using the route latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf, I get a PDF. Normal, but the problem is that if I the PDF is already opened (e.g. because I was reading the version of the document before having modified and compiled it) when the compilation and the whole process ends, the opened PDF is blank, i.e. the current page becomes white, and every page I go at is white. If I then re-open the document, I find the new version of my PDF.

I would like to know how this process actually works. For me, it looks like the ps2pdf tool creates the PDF from scratch, and overwrites the old PDF.. But why am I receiving no warning message from acroread? Anyway, acroread seems not to be locking the file, or, if so, ps2pdf forces the writing.

Thanks.
