Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ LaTeX => PS => PDF producing error

[pban92]

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphics}

Looks like above packages got some issues with the compilation in my case. I have both jpg and eps figures. Without any eps figures, compilation on texniccenter is just perfect in LaTeX => PS => PDF mode.

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{epsfig}

Adding epsfig package only helps in LaTeX => PS => PDF mode, if the document has only eps figures.

I just dont figure which packages would help me having both jpg and eps figure and compile it in LaTeX => PS => PDF mode for a succeful pdf run.

Pls advise.

Cheers!

That's quite usual since latex only accepts EPS files. And by the way, use only the graphicx package, whatever the format of your graphics files may be. For graphics formats in dependence on the compiler engine use the forum search.

You can convert the EPS files to PDF for compilation with pdflatex. Use either the command line tool epstopdf or the epstopdf package for conversion "on the fly". Note the instructions about the requirements (shell escape) in the package manual. Or use the forum search.

I am sorry but if that is the case how come jpg files are sucessfully compiled?

...or the epstopdf package for conversion "on the fly"

Then I understand that the following packages would enable to compile without any error in LaTeX => PS => PDF which was wrong.
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

I have been searching for the options for how to compile tex document containing both jpg and eps figures without taking the trouble of conversion.

I think it is not possible. Am I right or wrong?

Many thanks!

The pdflatex compiler engine accepts external graphics files in JPG format as well as PNG and PDF.

The epstopdf package works only with the pdflatex compiler engine.

Right. But I see no problems in converting the files.
