I have a template presentation and in this presentation there is a line 

\author{Lal Upendra Pratap Singh \\2014AN-12}

When I ran PDFLatex command in TexMaker, I got the following warning

Tokens not allowed in the PDF string(PDFDocEncoding):(hyperref) removing '\\'

Then I removed the \ and ran PDFLatex again. The warning is not gone. Also, when I try to change code, I am not seeing the results in the generated PDF. I used to run PDFLatex and then ViewPDF command.

Do I need to install some other software also? I have only installed TexMaker. I somewhere read that Miketex and Bibtex are also required. Is it true?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX!. Is the linenumber from you warning the same as your quoted code? Could there be other instances of \\? Also, you specify that you removed \, did you remove both of them \\, leaving the code to: \author{Lal Upendra Pratap Singh \\2014AN-12}? You seem to already have installed MikTex or atleast some kind of destibution, so you don't need anything more. BibTex would only be required if you use bibliography, and you most likely have it installed already. – Runar Aug 17 '16 at 13:14
  • To help you further it would help a lot if you provided an MWE – Runar Aug 17 '16 at 13:14
  • line number of warning is same as the quoted code; also I removed both the backslashes . I ran the same code in Kile, it worked without any errors – Upendra01 Aug 18 '16 at 03:04
