General ⇒ no figure (.eps) shown in generated pdf file

[misou]

Hi all,

I am having trouble inserting .eps files. I have installed the following:
MikTex2.5 Ghostscript 8.54 GSview 4.9 Acrobat reader

I have also imported localghost's latex=>ps=>pdf .tco file and carefully
setup the executable paths.

The problem is, I cannot see any pictures in the generated pdf file but
only empty spaces.

BTW, I also noticed the following error messages at the end of the log:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX2.5\miktex\bin\dvips.exe: ! DVI file can't be opened.

LaTeX-Result: 0 Error(s), 1 Warning(s), ....


Thanks in advance!

LaTeX take image from *.eps file, and PDFTeX from *.pdf. Use program epstopdf.exe from MikTeX to convert your files. In some places I saw next construction

Code: Select all

\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\usepackage{graphicx}
\else
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\fi

for compiling file by LaTeX or PDFTeX and don't write filename extensions for images. Good luck!

This is absolutely unnecessary. The graphicx package doesn't need any driver option and detects on its own which compiler is running and searches the file with the matching suffix. Furthermore, the request mentions that the profile "LaTeX => PS => PDF" is used, hence the compiler will accept EPS files.

Obviously there is no DVI file created. Take a careful look at the log file. Look out for any warning or error messages. If necessary, you can post that complete log file here as attachment, so we can take a look at it. Please provide a minimal working example (MWE) of your code. This MWE should reproduce the undesired behaviour and be processable by every other person.
