beamer | Compilation of a Presentation with EPS Images

Post by nounouuuuu201186 »

Hi,

I want to know how to compile a beamer presentation under WinEdt. My figures are in EPS format.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

The compilation process itself does not all depend on the used editor. For EPS images there are three methods.
  1. Compile via "LaTeX → PS → PDF".
  2. Convert the EPS images to PDF and use the pdfLaTeX typesetting engine. Depending on your TeX distribution this may need the epstopdf package.
  3. Use the XeLaTeX typesetting engine.
How to invoke the different typesetting engines (and possibly necessary conversion tools) from within the editor should be clearly described in the WinEdt documentation.

And where exactly is the problem with this message? It clearly tells you to check the editor settings. What about the other suggested methods?

As already said, check the settings of your editor after studying its documentation. I'm pretty sure that you will find a clue right there. Or wait for a solution until an adept WinEdt user comes along (which could take a long time).

Once again, anything against trying another method like image conversion?
