Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problems with includegraphics for PDF files

[morgeesh]

I have been using Inkscape to create graphics to go into a LaTeX document, saving the images as pdf files and trying to import them using the \includegraphics command. This worked until a few days ago when the document (which I had not changed since it had previously typeset with no errors) started giving me the errors

!LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in test2.pdf (no BoundingBox).
if I give test2.pdf as the argument and

!LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in test2.pdf (no size specified).
if I specify type = pdf and give the argument test2.pdf.

Previously both of these commands worked (with the same image files, and I didn't change anything before that point in the TeX file), and now none of the images work. What am I doing wrong?

The error message indicates that you accidentally compiled with latex instead of pdflatex.
