Making PDF with figures

Post by inbal »

I don't manage to include figures in the pdf file!
I use the Latex option, it compiles the text but I get the "unknown file type" error when I include .eps files.
I have GhostScript+ GhostView installed, and I added the path in the startup macro, but it still doesn't help.
If anyone can help, I'll be grateful!

I presume you are using pdflatex as compiler.
pdflatex doesn't accept eps files as graphic input. Only jpg, png and pdf.
Using eps you can generate a ps file from dvi and further convert the ps file into pdf.
