Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Including JPG in .tex file error

[djinty]

Hello community,

I would like to include a jpg file in a .tex file.
I'm using MikTex and TeXnicCenter on Windows 7 x64.

I use the following commands:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\rohead[{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{fhlogo.JPG}}]{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{fhlogo.JPG}}

The file "fhlogo.JPG" is located in the same directory of the .tex File.

When I start the command line as an Administrator and navigate to the Directory where "pdflatex.exe" is located I use the following command:
C:\PATH>pdflatex.exe C:\PathToTexFile\file.tex

Aftere somme procedures I receive the following error:
"! Package pdftex.def Error: File `fhlogo.JPG' not found."

First I had included the grapics without the .JPG in the command, same Error occured.

I hope that you can help.

Thanks a lot.

Does no one has an answer? I really don't know what to do... please help.
A friend told me that it must have something to do with MikTex. Has anyone got a solution?

You need to run pdfLaTeX where the .tex file is, as it looks in the current folder for files to include.

[djinty]

so you mean, that I should copy the pdflatex.exe into the Folder where the .tex file is located?

No. If you've installed TeX properly (I assume you probably have MiKTeX), then it will add the appropriate places to the file path. So you can then use "pdflatex" anywhere. It would be very inefficient if you always had to copy files to the same place as the program in order to use it.
