General ⇒ No PDF Output

[Proeme]

I just re-installed TeXnicCenter (necessary after re-installing Windows 7), but now it's not creating PDF's anymore. It's going wrong with all tex-files i tried to convert.

In the FAQ I read about the path to the PDF-reader, but i am sure it is correct.

Do you have any idea what's going wrong?

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Perhaps post the error messages you got. Even better would be if you would attach the .log file here to a forum post.

error message:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]

Cannot execute the command.

and i attached the log-file.

Ok, I see the problem. The log file is incomplete, which points to a known issue. Have a look at this post:

No output after recovering from system rebuild.

Ah, thanks, i will try that.

but... where can i find those 'MikTex options'?

i've seen that screen when i installed MikTex, but now i can't find it back :S

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yo can open it in the Windows start menu, in the MiKTeX program group.

found it, and it helped. It creates the PDF now.

But there is still something strange going on:
when i try to view the PDF directly from TeXnicCenter, i still have the same error message and it's not opening the file.

When i try to open the created PDF directly from explorer (not using TeXnicCenter for it), it openes as it should.

i attached the new log-file.

Check your output profile, in the "Build>Define Output Profiles>Viewer" menu. And consider using Sumatrapdf instead of Acrobat Reader.
