Hey,
I have recently installed TexMaker on my machine, along with the most current (2.9) version of MiKTeX. My document will compile just fine, with no errors, however, the output is only .tex, .dvi, .log and .aux. I cannot get the editor to output a pdf file. The dvi file is also incomprehensible, I'm not sure what program will read it, but Texmaker return garbage when I open it.
Thanks for your time!

Re: Texmaker will not output a PDF file
DVI is the normal output of LaTeX. If you want a PDF, use PDFLaTeX. I don't have Texmaker installed right now, but I seem to remember it having a dropdown box to choose between them, or something like that.
