I'm using TeXStudio on Windows 7 with MikTeX. I don't know how to get the "Jump to source" command that appears in the mouse right-click menu, in the pdf viewer, once I compile a *.tex file with Quick Build.
This feature is present and works well in TeXStudio under UBUNTU 12.04. How can I get it in Windows 7 too?

Add -synctex=1 to your path, e.g.
"/usr/texbin/pdflatex" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
Then the jump-function should work.
To diagnose your problem, try this with pdflatex -shell-escape filename.tex.
% this input file name is filename.tex
% compile it with pdflatex -shell-escape filename.tex
\documentclass[preview,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{temporary.tex}
\documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newsavebox\IBox
\savebox\IBox{\includegraphics{example-image-a.eps}}
\psset{xunit=\wd\IBox,yunit=\ht\IBox}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=top](1,1)
\rput[bl](0,0){\usebox\IBox}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage{graphicx,pgffor}
\edef\AutoRotateOff{-dAutoRotatePages=/None}
\foreach \compiler/\ext in {latex/tex,dvips/dvi,ps2pdf \AutoRotateOff/ps}{\immediate\write18{\compiler\space temporary.\ext}}
\begin{document}
This is a test. The following figure should be processed OK when PdfLaTeX is run.

\includegraphics{temporary.pdf}% extension is not necessary
\end{document}
If you can get the following, there is a problem with your editor.

You have to add
-synctex=1to the commands:pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.texxelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.texlualatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.texAfter the next compilation there is a right-click menu item titled "Go to source" (Or shortcut
Ctrl+').
