General ⇒ Failed conversion from LaTeX to PDF

[mpopovic]

Hi all,

I'm trying to convert a file to PDF, and I'm totally new to LaTeX. I'm using TeXnic Center, no PDF file is being returned to me. I get a lot of strange messages as a result, such as:

Code: Select all

pdflatex.exe: Invalid command-line option
pdflatex.exe: Data: unknown option
(...)
I found no \citation commands---while reading file (...).aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file (...).aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file (...).aux
(There were three error messages)

Couldn't find input index file (...).idx

What, exactly, is happening?

Thanks

Milena

Evidently, you've configured TeXnic center to generate a bibliography and index, but haven't actually used any of the relevant commands to create such entities.

Do you get any errors if you run PDFLaTeX on the file directly (not through TeXnic center)?

If you post a minimal working example of a .tex file that has this problem, I can tell you what is going on.
