AUCTeX ⇒ Typesetting on Emacs

[erwann]

Hello,

I'm starting to use Emacs (which I don't know very well) to typeset documents with LaTeX. The TeX 'plugin' came out of the box, I have not installed or set up anything in particular.

For the code below, I click on Tex> TeX file, then Tex>Tex view, which brings up a blank dvi file. If I save it as PDF, the latter does show the watermark, but not the included file. If I typeset it with TeXworks, the generated pdf shows the included file and the watermark. So, what could be wrong in the Emacs/TeX set up, and how can I resolve it?

You say it works with TeXworks, but not emacs. Unfortunately, we currently don't have any emacs users that i am aware of.
I myself use vim without any plugins. Just code highlighting. Few years ago i tried out emacs for a few ours. Didn't felt natural. Tried out vim for a few minutes and instantly fell in love with that editor.

Maybe ask at a emacs forum for a faster solution? If so, please leave a link here and there to connect both posts.

Hi,

you cannot include a PDF file when you compile to DVI.

You should set up emacs to use pdfLaTeX for directly generating PDF instead of latex in DVI mode.
