General ⇒ Cannot create output file
Cannot create output file
The old LaTeX programs can generate output file but not the new ones.
When I build the file, the output profile gives the following:
initexmf:pdflatex.ini: source file does not exist
I cannot find the default format file!
cannot make pdflatex.efmt
When I view output, the Adobe Reader 7 says: 'There was an error in opening this document. This file cannot be found' and TexnicCenter pops up '[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen"%bm.pdf")]. Cannot execute the command'.
Also, the graphics in eps format cannot be inserted.
Thank you for your kind help.
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Which "old LaTeX programs"? What kind of output file?

Which output profile file, which LaTeX Distribution?

Can you compile a simple document? As DVI and PDF?

If TeX cannot create the output document, Acrobat can consequently not open it

Re: Cannot create output file
I'm creating new LaTeX files. When I build the file to PDF, the output profile that shows number of errors and warnings give the following:
initexmf:pdflatex.ini: source file does not exist
I cannot find the default format file!
cannot make pdflatex.efmt
The output LaTeX document cannot be created.
Thank you.
