Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around issues related to viewing documents in output form (PDF/PS) using TeXnicCenter and MikTeX, part of the Protext package. Participants are seeking guidance on how to compile and view their documents correctly.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in finding a way to view documents in output form after installing TeXnicCenter and MikTeX.
  • Another participant suggests using Adobe Reader for PDF files and GSview for PS files, providing links to those applications.
  • A participant reiterates the need for Acrobat Reader or Ghostview and describes the process of selecting the output format from a drop-down menu in TeXnicCenter.
  • One participant asks about the location of the compile button, indicating uncertainty about the interface.
  • A later reply indicates that the participant found the compile option under 'build output' after some exploration.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for specific applications to view the output files and the steps to compile documents, though there is some uncertainty about the interface and options available in TeXnicCenter.

Contextual Notes

As las3rjock siad, you need to have acrobat Reader or Ghsotview installed. Then you simply have to click on the little drop-down menu at the top that will list the three options:
LaTeX -> DVI
LaTeX -> PDF
LaTeX -> PS

Choose the PDF (or PS) option and then compile. It should open up automatically Acrobat Reader and display your file. It works without any problem for me.
