PDF Viewer on Windows matter #10

Most PDF viewers on Windows, especially Acrobat readers block writing to the pdf when it is opened. This leads to an error if you compile again.

There are some viewers which don't block and also update if the pdf was updatet, e. g. Sumatra PDF

Evince is also such a reader, as is any browser (usually).

Wow did not see that problem coming . Thank you. I added a small warning for the user.

@MaxNoe Is it really? :slightly_frowning_face: I haven't been doing serious work on Windows for quite some time. I'm sorry to hear the project's dead now.
