I recently started having compilation problems after updating my TeXstudio to the newest version (3.0.1) using Windows 10. Whenever I try to compile any tex files, I encounter the following error:
I can't write on file `document.pdf'. \end{document}
As an example, I created a new file from a template using the article class:
\documentclass[]{article}
%opening
\title{Test}
\author{Marcelo}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}
\section{}
\end{document}
I have found similar questions on StackExchange, and tried some of the suggestions such as:
- Make sure that Adobe Reader is closed and delete the pdf file generated
- Compile from the command prompt using "pdflatex document.tex"
- Make sure I have writing permissions - this should not be a problem since I am writing to my desktop
But I am still getting the same error:

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 410 strings out of 480236 7293 string characters out of 2879607 268785 words of memory out of 3000000 17041 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+200000 539335 words of font info for 43 fonts, out of 3000000 for 9000 1141 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 41i,6n,47p,132b,189s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,50000s ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
It would be great if anyone had suggestions on how to solve this problem besides reinstalling TeXstudio, which I have already tried.
Thank you!!
