This is my third question regarding LaTeX on Android. In first question (Installing Latex on Android) I learnt to install termux app from Google Play Store. In second question (How to compile tex file using Termux Android) I learnt some basic stuffs to fix some technical issues. Finally I received the following output.

Output written on abc.pdf (1 page, 20412 bytes).
Transcript written on abc.log.

I searched for this file in file manager but couldn't find. I don't know how to open this. I shall admit that I am not sure whether I am successful. I don't know where this file is stored. So please help me.

This is my terminal transcript

Finally I am successful in using latex on Android. Thanks to https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Sharing_Data Using the command

termux-open abc.pdf --send

I was able to send file to Google drive. Thanks a lot for all members who have helped me in this venture.

Edit: I am not very good at explaining things. So I just recorded all the steps from installing Termux to opening compiled document. You may check them here https://youtu.be/kGz1MGwwcE0 https://youtu.be/tMb_XcinN8U

    So, now, maybe you can use some kind of search to find the pdf file. I found this: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Sharing_Data – Sigur Jan 03 '20 at 18:17
  • @Sigur Thank you. I will check it. – mig001 Jan 03 '20 at 18:20
  • This is more of an Android question than a TeX question though. See https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/218354/how-do-i-access-home-storage-outside-of-termux-with-a-file-explorer (easiest solution would be to cd into a subdirectory of sdcard and compile from there) – user202729 Jun 26 '22 at 08:30
