Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Accented Characters in Graphics File Name

[Rafael Adorna]

Hi there, my first post in this forum so please be patient with me.
First of all, thank you all for all the support you give to novice latex users like me.

Going to the point, i was redacting my senior thesis in the University with texmaker 3.1, using MiKTeX 2.9.
As i was compiling using the "pdflatex" option i got this error:

Windows API error 1113: bla bla bla (in spanish)

I used other editor to compile it and everything was ok so i started to investigate a bit and discover this forum. So after all the "help", "guide" and "tips" sections I decided to go line on line compiling in a test.tex file.

So i discovered that that error only happened in this line (Will pos the full structure but the error line will be marked with "<<<>>>"):

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
  \begin{center}
  	<<<\includegraphics[width=5in]{./Figures/Selección.png}>>>
  	\caption[Selección de proyectos a importar.]{Selección de proyectos a importar.}
  	\label{fig:Selección de proyectos a importar.}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

So the error was about using a written accent in the filepath.
Just rename it like:

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[width=5in]{./Figures/Seleccion.png}

And that error wont appear again. Hope this solve future issues. And please forgive me for any mistakes i made in this post.

You may try the grffile package from the oberdiek bundle to keep special characters in the name and the path of the graphics file. No guarantee for success.
