XeTeX ⇒ Image width using \includegraphics with XeLaTeX

[wegelin]

I ran the following code first with pdflatex, then with xelatex. In pdflatex, the width option is obeyed for both included pdfs. In xelatex, the width option is obeyed only for hey.pdf, which is a vector image. The image ike-1957-06-16.pdf, which is a scanned newspaper clipping, comes in huge.

All pertinent files, including the two included PDFs, can be found at http://jacobwegelin.net/tmp/xelatex/.

How can I control the width and height of a scanned, rasterized image when I import it in xelatex?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

	\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]
	{hey.pdf}


	\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]
	{ike-1957-06-16.pdf}

\end{document}

Hi Jacob,

I just tested your code and your original images. It works when I use natwidth instead of width, then the scanned bitmap picture is downsized also with XeTeX.

Such as:

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[natwidth=0.8\textwidth]{ike-1957-06-16.pdf}
