Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ file building

[omkardpd]

Hi,

I am using Texmaker. I have been able to run the code using "Quick Build" command, and then manually opening the pdf file generated. The commands such as "PDFLatex", "View PDF", do not work. I get error messages such as "could not start the command".

Isn't there provision to get pdf file generated directly opened once I hit any "build" command?

Thank you,

Omkar

Check the settings for Quick Build in TeXmaker (Options -> Configure TeXmaker). If necessary, post a screen shot of that dialogue window.


Best regards

Hi,

Please find attached screen shot of quick build command that I use.

I tried the other option, "PdfLaTex+View PDF". this option wouldn't create PDF itself.

Thank you,

What about the "Commands" section?

It seems to be caused by a wrong entry in the command line for "PdfLaTeX". In your settings the latex compiler is used instead, hence no PDF file is build (but a DVI file). Change this comment line as follows.

Code: Select all

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

Actual this should be the default setting. So I wonder where this changed entry comes from.

Hi,

This is working fine now. PDF is getting created at right place.

One more query on this. When I hit F6 (or some other command) can't I get PDF created and opened in one go? Do I have to open the PDF file personally?

Thank you,

Obviously yes (by hitting F7). For more information about handling and configuring TeXmaker refer to its documentation.
