PDF viewer does not open

[Jott-En]

the following settings are set by default: `//-------- LateX Compile Configuration --------

// Opens PDF after Latex Compile
"latexCompile.openAfterCompile": true,

// Opens LOG if failed to Compile
"latexCompile.openLogAfterError": true,`

The PDF compiles fine however my PDF viewer does not open automatically.

Any ideas what I have to look for?

Thanks!

Hello

Thanks for using the extension.

What system are you on ? Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 ?

You need to look at what program is set to default on the file type PDF. Try using the cmd, to open a pdf and see if that work. That is what the extension does: open "filePath and fileName.pdf"

I'm using Windows 10 and the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. When I enter a PDF in the command prompt it opens the File with the Acrobat Reader.

I have the exact same set up. Try making sure that Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is set to the default program. By going to settings on a pdf file.

Though the exact same setup, I dont experience any problems. Sorry.

Tried that on 2 systems, no luck.

I tried the command "open" in the command line, which doesn't work either, unknown command. If I simply enter the filename it opens the file.

Works now all of a sudden with Code 1.3.1 and LaTeX Compile 0.61 :-)

Glad to hear that it is now working for you.

Wonder if it was "Compile files with blanks in their paths" that solved it.
