I am using TexnicCenter editor and it is set on "Latex => PDF" mode. I should get an pdf file as output. But I am getting an error message "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.". I am a beginner in Latex.

Thank you very much in anticipation of an early reply.

Hi, I am trying to execute the following codes:

The document itself is fine.

If you are a beginner in LaTeX then don't use TeXnicCenter but TeXworks instead. (TeXnicCenter has issues with recent TeX distributions and needs to be adopted to recent AdobeReader versions. IMHO it's not worth the trouble.) TeXworks is part of both, MikTeX and TeXlive for Windows, so it should be already installed on your computer.

Just start TeXworks, insert the text, change "pdfTeX" to "pdfLateX" and compile your document using the green play toolbar button.

Make sure that the PDF output has been really produced. Unfortunately you don't say anything about your PDF viewer. For the Ad0be Reader there have been made some significant modifications by Ad0be (forum search). A better partner for TeXnicCenter (TXC) is the Sumatra PDF Viewer. TeXworks has already been suggested as very encouraging alternative.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Then please mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting) and as you have already been asked for. At this occasion you can also tag the code as you have been asked for.
