I use Texmaker in windows. I have used it for a while now without any problem, but recently the preview doesn't work anymore. When I click the "show PDF" button, it creates a new window that I can see in the task bar but cannot display. No error message, and the PDF is correctly created (I can open it with Adobe).

Of course I know I have to save my code and compile it beforehand, and like I say the PDF file is actually correctly created. This is very annoying, and I would very much appreciate your help on this.

It can't be that it suddenly changed its behavior. I guess you have updated your os or your TeX distribution, TeXmaker, the preview program or something else? Can you remember? – Kurt Mar 4 at 17:10
   
I assume you're using use an external pdf viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat, in TeXmaker. Right? Have you recently updated that external pdf viewer? The path to it may have changed in the process. In TeXmaker settings, make sure the path to that viewer is correct, and let us know what happens. – Jubobs Mar 4 at 17:45
I do not use an external pdf viewer. Windows updates itself regularly, but I don't think I ever updated TexMaker. – Glougloubarbaki Mar 4 at 18:20
@Glougloubarbaki Did you tick the options-->configure--> Commands-->pdfviewer--> both 'Built-in-viewer' and 'embed' ?. Hope you have Latest TeXmaker 3.5.2 version installed. Of course there is no problem with old version as well. – texenthusiast Mar 4 at 21:35
