General ⇒ PDF not created

[silas]

Hi all,

I have been using the TeXnicCenter for about a year and have had no problems when using Windows Vista. Recently I reformatted and switched to Windows 7 and installed MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXnicCenter 1.0 SRC.

When trying to LaTeX=>PDF, no PDF is created. I can LaTeX=>DVI, but I would really like to create a PDF file. How can I resolve this issue?

Additionally when I try to build and view the tex file, my PDF viewer (Adobe X) opens but of course cannot find the file. This somehow causes TeXnicCenter to crash, which seems like an overreaction.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Silas,

welcome to the board!

Please post the error messages you got. Otherwise we could hardly guess what went wrong.
Or post your .log file here as attachment.

Curiously, no errors occur when trying to build the PDF file. I have attached the generated log file.

Cheers - Silas

The log file is incomplete. The cause could be a well known issue with TeXnicCenter [1]. Consider a full MiKTeX installation to evade the process of subsequent package installation.

I had the same problem. But I solve it by compiling my .tex file with TeXworks (editor provided by MikTex), it automatically installed some required packages. Afterwards it worked automatically with TeXnicCenter.

I had the same problem, and tracked it down to the graphicx package. As this package is required, I ended up having to go the same route as the poster above me and use TeXworks to generate the PDF output.
