Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ No display of PDF output

[teletubijs1]

I can't view pdf files, tried everything, it says :'This file cannot be found' or it is simply a blank page. I know that this is a common problem and i found several topics about this, but nothing really helped.

I have Miktex 2.8, adobe reader 10, texmaker 2.1.
In configurations i have
pdflatex: "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 10.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
External viewer : "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 10.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf
and same in quick build

You need to set the executable for pdflatex to the executable for pdflatex, which is probably something like "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/pdftex.exe" or something like that, not to AcroRd32.exe -- that should only appear in the viewer part. Your problem seems rather to be that you aren't creating PDFs, not that you can't view them.

Thanks for replay, but it doesn't work anyway, here is my..

"configure texmaker" window-commands-

it is pdflatex.exe there, but i tried also pdftex.exe

After i close pdf, texmaker says process exited with errors :log file not found.

help if you can, thank you!

Just a note about the path: you should use the backslash (\) instead of the slash (/) on Windows (e.g.
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8 etc.)

when i press F6 (PDFlatex) it gives errors:
!Undefined control sequence.
...


\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}%
Hello!
\end{document}



when i press F11 it says: process exited normally.

I have deleted, uninstalled, then downloaded and installed again. But still there is same problem.

when i press F6 (PDFlatex) it gives errors:
!Undefined control sequence.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}%
Hello!
\end{document}

Do you actually get the error with that file? Because in the background of the screenshot you posted, I can see the obsolete \documentstyle command, which might generate this error.

These are just samples i got from net.

That was all my code.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}%
Hello!
\end{document}

I add some more screens.

After pressing F6

Changed from slash to backslash. However when i try to set path, it changes back to backslash.

Editor font encoding?

Going back and forth.... sometimes i get something in pdf, if i add one more ''hello!'', press F6, then F7 nothing changes.

If you need some more screens let me know.
Thank you for help!

The error shown in the first screenshot, after pressing F6, is understandable: in path for pdflatex you set pdftex to be run, not pdflatex. There is a difference. Try changing pdftex to pdflatex then run it on that simple example again.

To avoid path problems, use the buttons on the right of path fields to locate binaries. It's safer that way. Of course, after you set the path, you can add --interaction=nonstopmode %.tex or other options.

WOW, it works now!

Thank you all, you saved my life!

Marry Christmas!
