-synctex=1 doesn't work

Question

I'm using texmaker, and to show the pdf file (internal), I used -synctex=1 to show it in the position where i'm writing the code.

I worked pretty well for me before, but it has stopped working for 2 days. What can I do?

Try to remove blank spaces in the path to the tex file.

Thank you very much indeed, removing blank spaces does solve the TeXmaker to PDF direction, but not the converse. Would you have any idea? Thank you! – Jul 24 '16 at 20:16

Edit: check for non-regular characters in the file path and replace them with standard ones.

For example, to make the synchronization source-pdf with Synctex functionality in TeXMaker work for me i needed to remove a ü in the file-path, which is a german vowel.

Please provide additional details in your answer. As it's currently written, it's hard to understand your solution. – Community Sep 01 '21 at 12:30
I had the same issue. As I'm French, there was an accent mark ('é') in the file's path. I removed it and now it works. As for spaces in the file's path, they don't seem to be a problem. – pinkacacia378 Mar 10 '24 at 12:32
