This is a follow-up on this question. I was able to configure TexMaker correctly to use arara in my documents, but still there is a problem viewing the resultant PDF in the built-in viewer of TexMaker. Using an external viewer is easy, but I couldn't configure my editor to use the built-in viewer. I run MiKTex on Windows 7. I appreciate your help.

  • The embedded viewer expects the pdf to be in the same directory as the masterfile.tex file or the one in the window you compiled from. So verify that you do have a pdf in the same folder and the base name must be the same ie masterfile.pdf. The only option you have on the built-in viewer is whether to embed or have a separate window. – R. Schumacher May 05 '15 at 18:27
  • Yes, it is in the same directory and with the same name and I can open with the external viewer automatically, but I love the simple built in viewer which does not disrupt my work flow. – latex fan May 05 '15 at 18:32
  • Check all the logs because both TexMaker and TeXstudio will not start the embedded viewer is any errors (fatal or not) that have been reported by any preceding process in a quickbuild or sequential (arara command sequence). – R. Schumacher May 05 '15 at 20:17
  • The embedded viewer works in normal Quickbuild mode (PdfLaTeX+View PDF), which means there are no errors. I need to explicitly know what is the command which opens the embedded viewer in normal Quickbuild mode so that I can copy it to the arara sequence. I suspect it is Gsview ... – latex fan May 05 '15 at 20:26

    Having a pdf does not mean no errors, just not fatal errors. The command is demonstrated here in the first answer. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29208/how-do-i-open-the-internal-viewer-in-a-custom-quick-build-command-with-texstudio – R. Schumacher May 05 '15 at 23:29
  • @R.Schumacher (+1) Many thanks. That answer helped me and I was able to configure arara correctly. I added the very same external viewer command (this now reads: arara %.tex|"C:/Program Files/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" %.pdf) to my arara user command and it worked. The only thing I observe now is that arara is much slower than when done the Quickbuild way. – latex fan May 06 '15 at 13:46
  • I'm not sure if you can make this an answer or should I post my configuration settings now as answer? – latex fan May 06 '15 at 13:47
  • Post it for youself with a screenshot of the configuration settings. Then accept the answer. – R. Schumacher May 06 '15 at 15:38
