Hello,
I'm relatively new to LaTeX. Lately, I've been getting an error message that's been really irritating: every so often, when I try to compile to PDF, I will get a message saying "I can't write on file `file.pdf' \clearpage". It is always on the same line for a given document, and if I restart TeXMakerX, the document will compile, but only for a little while. Then it gives me the message again. What can I do?
Thanks!
