How do I convert a .tex file to PDF?

Question

I need to convert a .tex file to PDF. The file was created using WinEdt, I have MikTeX, Ghostscript, ghostview, and Abode Reader 9.0 installed in my computer. The file is NOT in DVI format.

If your .tex file is printable, you can try below free pdf creator. It works as a virtual printer, so you can print most printable files to pdf format, give it a try.

Answer 3

I think you need Advanced PDF Converter as it is very good at preserving the formatting, with text content, page layouts, images,and text hyperlinks preserved.It also allow us to convert a lot files at the same time. I am now using it.

Answer 4

Use pdflatex, this should convert it directly to pdf, from the command line you would just type:



pdflatex



(I would think WinEDT has a way of converting it straight to pdf)

I use the PDF maker to make PDF, I will share it with you. You may have a try with the trail version ,too.

It will preserve the text well for you.
