Latex failed to find file ***.pdf

Post by chipotle »

Hi everyone,

I have googled this for a while now and nothing is fixing this issue.

I am running MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXstudio 2.8.2, and my LaTeX will not produce a pdf file. It used to work fine. I have re-installed MiKTeX and TeXstudio and have the same problem.

This is the log file:

Code: Select all

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2014.8.9)  9 AUG 2014 14:22

Hi, can you try to prepare a minimal working example of your problem? We need to see some code to reproduce the cause and test possible solutions.

Right now i can only suspect an \end{document} right after \begin{document}.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Put your document files in folders with no spaces in the path.

I don't believe that this is the problem. Although I agree that spaces in path names are best to be avoided that log shows that both tex file and aux file have been read in. There must be something else but without Infominimal working example it's impossible to tell...
