I tried to save my thesis in other tex file and create new PDF file, but it was the same after that. Additionally, there is some new GZ(busy) file corresponding to there new file in a catalogue where there files are. Could You help me with that? Big thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Make sure that your pdf-file is closed. Adobe reader protects pdfs from being overwritten.

Unfortunately, it does not help.

Which editor are you using? And which PDF reader?

Delete the .pdf file, and try again. Reboot the computer (to remove a file lock), and try again.

Texmaker, Adobe Reader. Thank you, Johannes_B and Stefan_K, your advices were good and helped me, actually, it compiles.

Ah, thanks so much. After closing my pdf it finally allowed me to save and overwrite.

Hi guys, I tried above guides but it didn't work for me, all of the documents that i used to run without any errors, now gives me this error!

any help is appreciated!

The problem is Dropbox (or Drive)...
Check to move your LaTeX to other folder out of these clouds.... and try to compile it.
