A5 paper size needed in PDF

I don't know what you expect us to do with that sample. Obviously we cannot test it without the included documents. Please read up on how to create a proper minimal working example , and why it is important to do so.

I was expecting that you might notice something in the actual code that might be ...

Re: Problem with same author same year citations

The ordering does not make sense indeed. It seems that, given the same author(s) and the same year, the ordering just follows the order in the .bib file.

Problem with cross-references

Using \label and \ref are not meant to be used when you want to refer to the "title" of a section/table/figure but when you want to refer to the "number" of a section/table/figure. Because your section uses a * to drop the numbering, you get nothing in your output.

This says it all. Because of the extra dot in the file name, it thinks the extension is ".1.pdf" rather than ".pdf" and it doesn't know what to do with ".1.pdf" files. Rename your files (e.g., Figure2-1.pdf) and all will be well.

Voilà, now all your files are available as PDFs for pdflatex too.

Re: A5 paper size needed in PDF

Hello and thanks for your prompt reply.

I already tried the epstopdf package but I get the 'unknown graphics extension' error.
