pdf inclusion page group detected which pdftex can't handle

Post by daviddoria »

I am getting these warnings anytime I use a pdf in \includegraphics

Code: Select all

pdf inclusion page group detected which pdftex can't handle. ignoring it.
Everything still seems to get created properly - the problem is that lots of these warnings make it hard to find other warnings. Is there anyway to fix/suppress them?

Thanks,

David

it might be a better idea to post more information about those PDFs, I've never seen that warning.

They were created with inkscape and then saved as pdf.

Here is one of them:

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\section{Sec 1}

\begin{figure}[ht!]
\label{fig:ConsistencyFunction}

\includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{images/Consistency}
\end{center}
\caption{Diagram of consistency function}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

and here is the output from Kile:

This information is useless. Add the \listfiles command as very first line to your code, start a new run and post the list of used files from the log file as daleif already requested.

If your pdf figures are exported from MS office using their PDF or XPS export function, you probably forgot to select "current slide" or "current page only" from the options button pop-up screen. At least that solved the problem for me ;)
