As the title suggests, when trying to view the output of the compiled PDF file by pressing F5, I get the message "Cannot execute command."
I checked the output profiles, and the directory to my Acrobat Reader 8 is correct.
Any suggestions?
General ⇒ F5 - Cannot execute command.
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

Re: F5 - Cannot execute command.
Yes, it has, and I can view it, but I always have to click on it and have my working folder open. F5 is far more practical.
Re: F5 - Cannot execute command.
Well, I simply solved the problem by reinstalling MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter. Trivial solutions always work. Thanks for the reply, anyway!
Re: F5 - Cannot execute command.
Better late than never: simply save your work in TeXnicCenter, close TeXnicCenter, re-open TeXnicCenter and re-open your LaTeX file. You should then be able to once again use F5 to get pdf.
