Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures good for .dvi wrong for .pdf

[spurta]

Hi I have just upgraded to Miktex 2.8 and now the .png's appear small and in the bottom corner as if the bounding box is the wrong size when viewing as a pdf. The pictures appear fine in yap, but not in .pdf, I have to submit in .pdf so this is a problem. It was working with the older Miktex 2.4 I had previously. I have tried all options in Quick Build on TexMaker to get to pdf and all except the one including ps, which makes it black and white, have the same error. Here is the code I have been using, and it has been working fine until the upgrade:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.4, bb = 0 0 535 330]{xxxx.png}
 \vspace{-3mm}\caption{\small{caption}} \label{key}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Help please, Leon.

I solved my own problem by using dvipdfm in the document class:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside,11pt, dvipdfm]{report}

and
dvips with the graphicx:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}

That doesn't make any sense at all. The latex compiler engine doesn't accept files in PNG format. Neither with nor without these useless driver options. And bounding boxes don't exist for PNG files. I would like to see a minimal working example (MWE) where a PNG file is included properly when running the latex compiler engine.
