Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ graphics with .eps

[betbetbet]

Hi,

I've searched the internet and I seem to be getting little help from what I read.

Anyway, when I write:

{
\centering
\resizebox{!}{3.0in}{\includegraphics{mn3p5s.eps}}
}

with packages,

\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{dsfont}

I get the following error:

"unknown graphics extension: .eps"

Can anyone suggest anything else?

Normally you should omit the extension of the graphics file. I suspect that you are trying to generate PDF output directly (pdflatex) rather than going via DVI (latex -> dvips -> ps2dpf). You can't use EPS graphics directly with PDF output: convert them with eps2pdf.

Thanks for the information, but unfortunately I still have a problem.

I can convert my files easily to .pdf and that's no problem, however, I still need them in my document. So with the same packages:

Typing

{
\centering
\resizebox{!}{3.0in}{\includegraphics{mn3p5s.pdf}}
}

Causes the compiler to run until it hits this code block and the compiler terminates. The LaTeX file is then not able to open.

Typing

{
\centering
\resizebox{!}{3.0in}{\includegraphics{mn3p5s.pdf}}
}

returns a file not found error

Any more ideas?

Sorry. Eliminate the .pdf extension in the second case.
