creating bounding box

Post by chamwith »

I'm new to Latex and I created a report using this. But now I have a problem. I added some pigures in jpg format and converted the report into pdf format and it's almost done! :) but when i convert it into dvi format there's a error message saying that unable to defing the size of the figure. Could someone help me in finding the easiest way to solve this??????????? :o

You can't use JPG images when compiling with pdflatex. And it's not worth converting them to EPS for use with latex and compiling to DVI except you are using some packages that rely on postscript specials. The size of the resulting output would be unnecessarily blown up. Keep the images as JPG and continue compiling with pdflatex.
