General ⇒ Conversion from PS -> PDF causes trouble with the headlines

[schwarzmond]

Hi,

I am writing my phd-work with miktex and have some major problems creating a pdf-file.

The conversion dvi -> ps is fine, both files look the same, have the same offset from the content to the border.

But after the conversion ps -> pdf (ps2pdf) the whole content is shiftet to the top:

As you can see in the picture: the headline is "invisible", you just can see the bottom of the letter "g", and between the bottom of the page and the content is a big gap.

If I remove all the eps-pictures and do a direct dvi -> pdf conversion, everything is fine, but I can't do this with my phd-work, because I have a lot of eps-pictures in it.

My System: Windows, MikTex 2.7, WinEdt 5.5, GS 8.61

Thx.

Hi schwarzmond,

if the last mentioned method (pdflatex) works you could convert your eps pictures to pdf format by epstopdf, that program should be included in a MiKTeX installation. After conversion you can include the pictures as pdf files by \includegraphics and using pdflatex.

Hi,

the conversion from >200 EPS-Files (in many different folders) is a very tough topic...


This is the YAP-File:

But, in the meantime, I found the problem: The conversion PS -> PDF is fine, if I let it do direct from GSView:

Only, if I let WinEdt do the conversion, I "loose" the space between the headlines and the border:

It would be realy nice, if I could let do the conversion direct from winedt, but... I have no idea, what's the problem. Maybe somebody in this forum has any suggestions?

These are my settings in WinEdt:
