Issue with Latex Anonymous 2017-01-02 11:38:40 Post No. 8577557 [Report]

Hi /sci/ I have a bit of a problem:
I have been using Latex over the past few days for the first time. Most of it seems pretty easy, but now I have a bit of a weird issue. I am using TeXstudio and texlive.
I can compile my .tex file no problem and the preview pdf also displays correctly with no errors, but when I look in the folder there is no pdf. When I press "External Viewer" in TexStudio, I also just get an error from Acrobat that no file was found. Even weirder: When I go to File->Open and then select to see pdfs, I can see the supposedly created document (but still nothing in the explorer).
I don't really know what I am doing wrong, but I am sure one of you guys has more experience with this than I do.

Alright, I think I actually somehow figured it out. The issue was that the file path had a space in it, I think.

It's bad practice to put spaces in filenames and directory names. It's a real pain in the ass. The worst is when someone sends me a file with an apostrophe. *shudders*

I know, but the default install directory for TexStudio was C:\Program Files\..., so I just went along with it and put my project files in the same folder.

The worst experience I've ever had was when I was helping someone with a computer problem and they had a ! in their user name.

Kek. I'm considering setting up a virtual box just to see what would happen.

Latex problems are extremely common. I would recommend vinyl or nitrile gloves.
