General ⇒ Image file not found

[tchau83]

Hi, I have a problem where the image file cannot be found if I build a pdf using output profile Latex->pdf. Latex->dvi and Latex->ps->pdf works fine.

I'm using Miktex 2.9, Texniccenter 1.0 stable RC1 and foxit pdf viewer. All settings are left at default. My pc is running windowsXP.

The code is

Code: Select all

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[hbt]
\includegraphics{products}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The output shows ! Latex error: file 'products' not found. A blank pdf file is built.

Does anyone have an idea what is wrong? Thank you

Direct PDF creation needs graphics in .pdf, .png or .jpeg format, whereas going via DVI needs .eps graphics. Do you have both versions available?

I see, thanks! My image is in .eps format, so that's why latex->pdf does not work.

Current versions of common LaTeX distributions (MiKTeX 2.9, TeX Live 2010) are able to convert EPS files to PDF "on the fly". If you have an older distribution installed, you may need the epstopdf command line tool or the epstopdf package. Note the instructions in the package manual.
