Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Generate a PDF

[GooNaH]

Hello LC,

I have a problem concerning generating a PDF from my Latex-code.

I use Texmaker 3.5.2 and my settings under (now I'm translating this from my German prog) "Options" "Texmaker Configurations" are as in the attached file.

commands-en-800.jpg (47.13 KiB) Viewed 42957 times

What I noticed is that the directories for "Asymptote", "GhostScript" and "R Seave" are none existent onmy PC.

These are all still the original settings. I wouldn't know, what to change and to what to change it.
------------------------------
When I compile my code ("Quick build"), I can see that there aren't any mistakes in it. But when I click on "View PDF" I get a pop-up saying "ERROR: File not found.".

"Quick Build" is set to "PDFLatex + View PDF".
------------------------------
Texmaker directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Texmaker

Directory of file I'm trying to compile and generate: C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\LTD_Tex-Files_v1.2\Tex-Files_v1.2

------------------------------
Can somebody help me out? Hope I've given enough information on the problem.

Thank you

GooNaH

Hi,

i assume you are using TexLive, but on what operating system?
In your example there are windows paths and Mac paths visible.

Please take a look, if all path are given correctly to Texmaker.

Hello,

I'm on a Win7 operating system.

TexLive is the distribution right?

All I did was install the current Texmaker from their official website.
I'm assuming that as you are already asking for a distribution, I'm now missing necessary installations?!

Which paths are in Mac-Style? Should I change these and to what?

Thanks for help

I guess your first uploaded picture was a screenshot from somewhere else. So never mind.

Asymptote, Sweave and Ghostscript are additional gimmicks, you won`t need them right now, as a beginner.


Please try to compile/build/tex the following minimal example and take a look in your project folder (the one with your example_forum.tex, or whatever your call it) if the example_forum.pdf is there.
If Texmaker can`t open the pdf, either with its internal reader, or with an external one like the acrobat reader (see the options menu), something seems to be wrong with your paths and you should check them.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, the answer is 42.
\end{document}

I will try as suggested.

---Sorry to you,too, about the cross-postings.I didn't give it any thought, because the second one was in a German forum. I wasen't aware I could reach you there as well as here. I'll stick to the rules from now and use a hyperlink such purposes. Thanks for the info

OK, a friend got my compiling going. Now I can view the PDF.

It doens't come out correctly though.

The chapter that I got from my workgroup comes out normally.
The chapter I wrote myself doesn't cope with the Umlauts ö,ü,ä,ß.

This occurs eventhough I \include both chapters into the same PDF.
I have this problem when compiling both with UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 under the settings "Options"->"configure Texmaker"->"Editor".

I use:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

Does somebody know what I'm doing wrong?

GooNaH

OK, as some of you have already noticed, I have the same discussion going in the Forum of "goLatex".
I'll from now on restrict myself to the "goLatex" discussion.

I didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone and I don't mean to take your kind help for granted. I'll cancel my ordered pizza from this server - or rather I'll withdraw myself from this discussion and would envite any friendly helper to join in on:

Thanks nevertheless to you all,

Bye bye

Use babel with ngerman option:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

T1 font encoding is good, loading inputenc as well. But ensure, that all input encoding match, i.e.

• inputenc option (such as utf8 or latin1)
• editor encoding (Texmaker setting)
• actual file encoding

must all be the same.

Differences can occur if you work on different operating systems (Linux uses usually utf8, Windows latin1, but modern editors also utf8) or with different editors. If you would already have a mix, such as a chapter from a colleague with different encoding, you have to fix it - there are tools (recode, iconv) but you could for example open as latin1 in the editor and save as utf8.

Thanks a lot Stefan,

will get to work on your suggestions.
(I have babel with ngerman as option in my code.)

Thank you

ps: As I was taught good behaviour between foren I'd like to invete further helpers to this parallel discussion to avoid crosspostings:

One link for each topic is sufficient. But of course it's important to post links between the forums, to avoid double work. Personally I don't see a problem with discussions in several forums, as long as it's linked for transparency.
