Switch from TeXnicCenter to TeXmaker causes gfx problems

Post by daithi81 »

Hello, as the title suggests, I am having a problem with graphics. I am working on a file called thesis.tex. When I open this file with TC (latex=>pdf), everything works just fine, no problems with the graphics. When I open the same file with TM it gives me a load of "boundingbox" errors.

The preamble is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}

\begin{document}
Any ideas?

In TeXnicCenter (TXC) you compiled with pdflatex. But in TeXmaker (TXM) you used latex. This compiler engine needs exclusively EPS as format for graphics files. TXM should offer an according button to get PDF output directly.

Thorsten, thank you for your reply. I have switched to using pdflatex to compile with.

I have now encountered a rather odd problem. I will start from the beginning. Lets say I open TeXmaker, then open my thesis.tex file. I make an alternation, and click 'quick build' (which I have now assigned to pdflatex). It compiles and my pdf automatically opens. I close the pdf, and make a further alteration. Again, I click 'quick build', it successfully compiles but this time Adobe opens and says that it cannot locate the file.

I check the folder in question, and the file is there, and has been updated with the new alterations.

Any idea what is happening?

Thanks.
