If MS Word can generate and display a new PDF when the previous PDF is already open in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader, then surely it must be possible for a Windows-based TeX tool chain (e.g., TeXworks + XeTeX) to do the same.  Would you not agree ?

In principle it is possible. It will be necessary to implement the IPC
with Acrobat in all drivers (pdftex, xdvipdfmx, ps2pdf from
ghostscript). and if the file is open in a different PDF viewer, it
will probably not work. I think that some external tools can do it.
