Error in preamble while compiling

Question

I am getting errors while compiling my files, but the errors are not mentioning the line numbers where I can check and correct them. Can someone tell me what are these errors about?

enter code here

Error:

Package transparent Warning: Loading aborted, because pdfTeX is not running in PDF mode.

Answer 1

In Overleaf, I get three warnings (not errors):

1. Package caption Warning: Unknown document class (or package), standard defaults will be used. See the caption package documentation for explanation.
2. Unused global option(s):
3. jnrlst (dependency: not reversed) set 1

The caption warning is referring you to the documentation. But it's also plain enough to read: (sub)caption isn't familiar with revtex4-2, and isn't making any guarantees about what will happen. (You can also cut out everything else in your preamble to verify that's the problem.) If you don't need the subcaption package, then take it out. If you do need to use it, then you'll need to ignore the warning, or tell TeX to ignore the warning.

Expanding the "Raw logs", we find that the unused global options are "border" and "article". Taking them out of the \documentclass[options] removes that warning.

For jnrlst, a web search for that string leads to https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/567691/107497, which says to add \bibliographystyle{apsrev4-2} to your preamble.

I will echo enkorvaks's comment that this appears to be a preamble that you've copied over (the two packages that have been % added at the end also point to that). If a copied preamble is giving you problems, are you sure you want to use it?
