Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Conversion of DVI via PS to PDF by MiKTeX Ghostscript fails

[DT_Martin]

Hello community,

I tried to convert my files to a pdf document but everytime Texmaker shows my some errors.

When I'm using PS->PDF it shows the following:

Code: Select all

Process started

MiKTeX GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

Process exited normally

I don't know why the program wants to use Ghostscript 9.05 though version 9.00 is installed. C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.00

for DVI->PDF I get this error:

Code: Select all

Process started

doc_thesis.dvi -> doc_thesis.pdf ** ERROR ** Could not open specified DVI file: doc_thesis.dvi Output file removed.

Process exited with error(s)

I searched for it on many web pages but didn't find any solution.

Here are my settings:

Miktex 2.9.4521 (with all updates)
Texmaker 3.5.2


A screen capture of the TeXmaker settings is attached. Unfortunately I have no idea what all these settings mean.

So my question is if anybody had the same problem and found a solution for it.

I would be very thankful for any help.


Best regards,
Martin

Hello Martin,

welcome to the board!

When I read the error "Could not open specified DVI file" I guess the .tex file wasn't compiled to dvi, perhaps there's just an error in the code. Try with a simple file. Check the compilation error message and the log file.
