If is not that, I also read that your antivirus might prevent external programs to generate documents.

This won't work for me! I have installed MikTex, Perl, and the Latex Workshop Extension, but I still get an error when trying to compile the PDF. I do think it has something to do with the VSC settings, and which compiler is being used, but I can't seem to find anything that works for me.

@martinnilsson9168 2 ай бұрын

I also have this problem. It's saying "Sorry, but pdflatex did not succeed." and refers to read the output in some log files but I don't seem to find a solution.

@lajawi. 2 ай бұрын

@@martinnilsson9168 I finally got it working. The problem was more with the document I was trying to build than the system. The document needed to use Xelatex to build it (which it said in one of the magic commands), but the magic command didn't seem to work. Reordering the recipes in the Json settings file of VSC seemed to do the trick. However, this isn't a complete fix, certainly not if I want to build documents with a different recipe, because the magic commands don't seem to work, and I'd have to manually change the recipes each time I want to have it automatically select the right one (I know I can click the desired recipe, but then I'd have to switch tab every time, and I can't use build on save).

Thank you for great tutorial! But there is one thing missing in LaTeX workshop. I am using TeXstudio and I can find source in tex file from PDF. This is not possible in LaTeX workshop? I have document consist of 100pages and more source tex files. It is helpful, when I need to change something. Just right click on pdf preview and there is go to source. There is nothing simmilar in VSCode? despit of this it is great extension, but not very good for big documents, due to mentioned missing feature. But intellisense is far better than in TeXstudio.

@FedericoTartarini Жыл бұрын

I am aware that this is a bit issue. When I recorded the video you could not do back search but maybe things have now changed. On a side note I was able to implement back search inside pycharm. This is my preferred option anyway. I love pycharm and together with texify it allows you to compile LaTeX documents.
