Recently, I started using TexnicCenter again and many problems surfaced. I've been debugging it for weeks and would greatly appreciate help in solving it.
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.
General ⇒ Cannot create output file
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
Cannot create output file
Dear confused,
I am confused
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
Regards,
Sebastian

Re: Cannot create output file
Sorry for the miscommunication. Let me paraphrase.
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.
