Kile

Hello! I just installed Kile on windows 8. Now I am having a problem running a simple code:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

I use pdflatex to run.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Welcome,

Kile is just an editor, a nice looking assistant if you will, that passes your document to the typesetter.

It sounds like you did not install the programm that does the typesetting. You need to install either MiKTeX or TeX Live.

Hi Alina,

welcome to the forum!

I recommend to install TeX Live. I sometimes notice issues with installation and file system right with MiKTeX.

Besides that - perhaps you already have TeX installed - this simple document cannot produce a PDF file, since it's empty. It cannot produce a valid PDF file with any page.
