TeXstudio: Documents no longer compile after they're saved

Post by Janowicz »

Recently I updated texstudio to the latest version and have been having a little trouble.

If I create a new document, blank or from a template then go to compile it and view it, it opens fine. However if I save that document and then try to compile it again, it fails every time.

The error it gives is:
Could not start Default Compiler:PdfLaTeX:
pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "document".tex.

I have no idea what's causing this, any help is appreciated. Is my best course of action to revert to a previous version?

Solution: After a lot of experimenting, I learned you should never save as a pdf. You must PRINT as a pdf with the microsoft pdf converter printer thing. Save it as a .tex and open it in TeXworks, then print.

In your settings of TeXstudio, omit the quotatin marks.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
