Hi
If I use 

trjconv -n index.ndx -f my_molecule.pdb -o output.pdb

I got this error again

Can not open file:
topol.tpr

Whats now the problem?

When I was referring to your "original command," I meant this one:

trjconv -n index.ndx -f my_molecule.pdb -o output

At this point, trjconv expects that you want an .xtc (trajectory) file, since 
you did not explicitly specify an extension.  An .xtc file contains no 
information regarding atom names, so converting it back to a .pdb file requires 
a .tpr file, as the error you got (below) indicates.  If you want to make your 
life simple, be more specific in what you tell trjconv.  Want a .pdb file?  Tell 
it so:

trjconv -n index.ndx -f my_molecule.pdb -o output.pdb
