Is this an Org document that you are exporting to LaTeX? If there is a
compile error, you can usually see it at the end of the *Org PDF LaTeX
Output* buffer. If it is a badly closed command, it is usually a
"Runaway argument?" warning, and the compiler indicates the problematic
line, which you should look for in the *.tex document. Sometimes it's
not easy to find the problem. The fastest way is to compile the *.tex
document directly with LaTeX and review the log file. It also usually
works to raise the position of \end{document} in the document. There
will come a point where it stops giving errors, and then the problem
will be easily located in the paragraph after \end{document}.

Best regards,
