LaTeX forum ⇒ Page Layout ⇒ Createpage blocks \begin{document} Topic is solved

[Haines]

I installed Giniewics' createpage.sty file.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass{memoir} % 
  \usepackage{createspace} %
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % 
  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %
  \usepackage{tgtermes} %
 
  \begin{document}
    test 
  \end{document}

Result: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}

I installed Giniewics' createpage.sty file.

Welcome to the forum.
Where does this package come from?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Sounds like this one: https://github.com/aginiewicz/createspace

@Haines:
Well, if you tried to download file by file from that page, there's a good chance you got html files instead of text files...
try the clone/download button instead.

I may have found the reason for the error message, but not the solution.

When pdflatex is run on the test file, the log has:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

...
! pdfTeX error (ext5): cannot open file for embedding.
\@begindocumenthook ..._Uncoated_ISO12647_bas.ICC}
                                                  \edef \cs@profile {\the \p...
l.13 \begin{document}
                      %
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

When I unzipped the package from github, it provided these files:

ISOuncoatedyellowish_bas.ICC
ISOuncoatedyellowish_basICC.pdf
PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_bas.ICC
PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_basICC.pdf

Directions said to put the .ICC files into a TeX path. So I simply copied
them to the same place as the createspace.sty file. But the names are
not quite the same as the file mentioned in the log.

Well, `the' error has changed somewhat.
From your description, I'd say you need to run mktexlsr aka texhash.
You can check on a console with

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

kpsewhich PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_bas.ICC

if the file can be found.

Thanks, Ras, failure to run texhax seems to have been the problem. If I recall I ran texhax
prior to moving the UCC files into the proper location.

Having done that I can run pdflatex on the file:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass{memoir} %
\usepackage{createspace} %
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %
\usepackage{tgtermes} % This is clone of Nimbus 9 used for mass market paperbac$
\pdftitle{title}
\pdfauthor{author}
\pdfsubject{subject}
\pdfkeywords{keywords}
 
test
 
\end{document}

This time, pdflatex generated a pdf file. But the file has:

LaTeX Error: Missing
LaTeX produced printed output before encountering a begindocument command.
Either you forgot the begindocument command or there is something wrong in the
preamble. The problem may be a stray character or an error in a declaration—for
example, omitting the braces around an argument or forgetting the in a command
name.

Hello Haines,

just insert \begin{document} before you start the document text, so before "test".

[Haines]

Stefan,

My blunder and my apologies. In copying the code I missed the \begin{document} line. It now works properly.
Thanks for the help.
