I use TexStudio to create a tex file and save it in my DropBox in the Cloud. I then use CloudConvert to make a pdf file, which I then save on my Windows Pc.

This works OK, but isn't there a simpler, more direct way? I'd like to execute a Windows program which inputs a tex file and outputs a pdf file.

I have MiKTeX installed on my PC.

    If you use TeXStudio to create your tex file, then, go to the Tools, and then either build view or compile. If it is configured correctly for MikTeX it will generate a pdf for you. – Guido Dec 29 '14 at 04:23

    It's already been pointed out that you should just run the typesetting system from within your editor (or if you don't get on with that editor, pick another one!), but I wonder how you ended up with this odd set up in the first place. – Joseph Wright Dec 29 '14 at 08:34

Since you already have TeXStudio installed, if you also have a LaTeX distribution installed in your system you can just compile your .tex file within TexStudio: it will create a pdf file in the same folder, which will be synced by Dropbox.
