empty pdf output

Post by Christopher »

Hi,

I have a problem with creating a pdf output. I am using TeXnic Center and Adobe Reader 9.

I suspect that I defined the output profile in a wrong way. However, I cannot find my mistake. I defined the path to the executable of adobe Reader correct. The reader opens, but showns nothing, not even an empty page.

I do not get any errors, warnings in TeXnic Center.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Can you manually open the PDF through Adobe Reader's file menu?

(I'm not suggesting that as a solution, just a troubleshooting measure to ensure that a PDF is being produced...)

Start TeXnicCenter (TXC), press Alt+F7 and let the wizard rebuild the build profiles. Afterwards everything should work fine.

Hi
I have face similar problem. I use texnic center, but have problem in generating PS file, and when I use Latex => ps => PDF, no PDF file could generated, I've double checked the respective settings in output profile, however no change has been made.
Any idea is highly appreciated.

Hi Vafaeimehr,

welcome to the board!

You added a question to a problem which is more than 2 years old and which has already been marked as solved. So perhaps not many people read your question. It might be better to post a new topic regarding your specif problem. Specifically, with some detailed description, for example your .log file. Usually a problem cannot be solved with just information like "it's similar, but it doesn't work". Post code, post error messages ;) perhaps add the .log file as attachment.
