Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Missing figures with pdflatex

[GerryWolff]

I wonder whether anyone could explain why figures are missing from my PDF output file when I'm using pdflatex.

Here is relevant code:

\usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{figure_1a.eps}

I have also tried

\includegraphics[bb=0 0 446 459,scale=0.5]{figure_1a.eps}

and

\includegraphics[bb=0 0 446 459,scale=0.5]{figure_1a}

but it makes no difference

Everything else seems to be working fine.

Suggestions for what I should change will be very welcome.

Convert .eps files to .pdf and try again.

It is possible to do this automatically too:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{figure_1a}

\end{document}

Unless you're using the newest version of pdflatex (TeXlive 2010 or MikTeX 2.9), pdflatex does not support .eps images. Either compile with latex > dvips > ps2pdf instead, or else convert the images to pdf, either using the epstopdf command line tool, or the epstopdf package (requires the -shell-escape or -enable-write18 options).

if you still have trouble, search the forums, there are dozens of threads about this.

(Somehow I missed meho's post. Not sure how.)
