I tried compiling a file that uses the fancytooltips package, according to Gonzalo Medina's answer at Showing the bibliographic entry in a popup when you hover over the citation key. I was able to do pdflatex bibtips.tex. It produces the .aux file:

\relax 
\abx@aux@sortscheme{nty}
\abx@aux@cite{goossens93}
\@writefile{toc}{\boolfalse {citerequest}\boolfalse {citetracker}\boolfalse {pagetracker}\boolfalse {backtracker}\relax }
\@writefile{lof}{\boolfalse {citerequest}\boolfalse {citetracker}\boolfalse {pagetracker}\boolfalse {backtracker}\relax }
\@writefile{lot}{\boolfalse {citerequest}\boolfalse {citetracker}\boolfalse {pagetracker}\boolfalse {backtracker}\relax }
\abx@aux@cite{knuth79}

But when I tried doing bibtex bibtips.aux, the result is

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012)
The top-level auxiliary file: bibtips.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file bibtips.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file bibtips.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file bibtips.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

How can I fix it?

  • Did you load biblatex with the backend=bibtex option? (Also you can't do biblatex bibtex.tex; that should produce an error in your terminal.) – jon Apr 06 '13 at 01:10
  • Sorry, I meant pdflatex -- just edited. And no, I didn't do any backend=bibtex. I simply copied over the first two files from Gonzalo Medina's post in that link. – Mika H. Apr 06 '13 at 01:15
  • @GonzaloMedina If I run bibtex bibtips, it produces the same result as in my original post. And I'm not sure what you mean by biber. Is that a command? – Mika H. Apr 06 '13 at 01:43
  • @GonzaloMedina Running bibtex bibtips.tex gives I couldn't open file name 'bibtips.tex.aux'. – Mika H. Apr 06 '13 at 01:47

    This is the sequence: pdflatex file.tex, bibtex file.aux, pdflatex file.tex, pdflatex file.tex. And you should tell biblatex that you want to use bibtex by doing something like \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} – jon Apr 06 '13 at 01:49
  • @jon Ok, I got Gonzalo's second file working. Now on to the third file... I added \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} and compiled it again pdflatex real.tex... and it stops at LaTeX Error: File 'eforms.sty' not found.. Doing kpsewhich eforms.sty returns nothing. Why might that be? – Mika H. Apr 06 '13 at 01:59
  • That is not a package that ships with TeX Live. (I don't have it either.) You need to download the acrotex bundle and install it manually. – jon Apr 06 '13 at 02:08
