I've been hand editing a converted .tex file in TexStudio, but suddenly I was finding I couldn't 'Build & View' or 'Compile' without getting a message "Failed to find file '/home/...../....pdf' Perhaps it has been deleted." The pdf screen was still there, but blank.
I was at a loss to understand this, but I found a similar query from 2014 at https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24413 .
The answer was to check the settings: "With OSX:
texStudio > Preferences
, select Build
,
option Default Compiler
."
(https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/98129/texstudio-compile-error-could-not-start-the-command-pdflatex-exe/98132#98132)
But I can't find an equivalent in my TexStudio. Nor do I
understand how the settings could have changed.
Any ideas?
