I created a document with Miktex and TexnicCenter a year ago and it worked fine. Since my pc died I installed everything again (Win8) but now no pdf is produced Because: error file fltpage.sty not found. I already changed the repository, admin mode. Also installed everything on Win7, but no difference. Does anyone know if fltpage is not longer supported by Miktex? Is there any good alternative (I have tons of huge figues with long captions). https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fltpage gives no .cls or.sty file which is supposed to be needed if I install a package manually in Miktex. Is there any manual step- by- step from the really beginning for people that have absolutely no clue?

Thank you very much!

If you just look into MikTeX's package repository (https://miktex.org/packages/) you won't find fltpage. Hence you have to download and install it manually (e.g. from https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fltpage).

Update: As Moewe described in the comments fltpage is licensed with a "Li­cense that pre­vents dis­tri­bu­tion".

  • Ok, I was worried this is the answer and already downloaded the package in the link. is there any manual for installing packages for people that a not at all familiar with that? – AMJ Feb 07 '17 at 19:21
  • @AMJ Check out https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2063/how-can-i-manually-install-a-package-on-miktex-windows. And please accept this answer if it covers all expectations to an answer. – TeXnician Feb 07 '17 at 20:57
  • The reason that this is not in MikTeX or TeX live is probably that CTAN classes the license of the package as 'Li­cense that pre­vents dis­tri­bu­tion'. – moewe Feb 08 '17 at 17:22
