[XeTeX] Adobe PDF, Adobe Acrobat/Reader, Microsoft Word, XeTeX, and (x)dvipdfm(x).

[Philip Taylor]

Over the past couple of days, I have made a substantial number of small 
changes to an MS Word document; on each occasion, as well as saving in 
MS Word format (.docx) I have also saved the document as Adobe PDF 
(.pdf).  In the course of so doing, I have realised that MS Word can 
instruct Adobe Acrobat (and probably Adobe Reader) to close the PDF and 
then re-open it once the changes have been made. Is there any reason why 
the (x)dvipdfm(x) back-end to XeTeX cannot [be enhanced to] do the same ?
