Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Cannot convert to PDF

[OgTheCaveman]

Hi. I'm relatively new to LaTeX and need some advice on this one matter:

When trying to View PDF, it says "File not found". I cannot view it in the integrated PDF-viewer, nor can I open it on Foxit Reader (Mozilla's PDF-reader).

I have Win7, and have installed the latest versions of Texmaker, Ghostscript, MikTex and Foxit Reader.

I have looked through this thread
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 21&t=11203
but doing everything asked didn't work out for me.

Please help me

Bumped. Does anybody have a solution?

Hi,

perhaps you did not get an answer because you did not provide sufficient information. Operating system, editor, reader and tools are often not relevant. Here - maybe, but first it should be clarified if your LaTeX document is compilable at all. If there's an error, no PDF if produced and all tools don't matter.

So, instead of just telling us "bumped", please add information, such as the LaTeX code you try to compile, the error message you get, perhaps the .log file as attachment to the post.

I tried to convert this simple document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\title{Introduction to \LaTeX{}}
\author{Author's Name}

\end{document}

But it says "Could not ope file. File not found."

My configuration window looks like this:

Is there a problem somewhere?

Your file contains just setting, not any text. That's why there's not output file, and you get the message file not found.

Just add some text or for example

Code: Select all

\maketitle

for actually producing the title.

I now added some text but the same issue persists...
