Figure cannot be fitted / resized & covers text

Post by Tobi_83 »

Hello,

I am trying to insert a figure into my document but when viewing the pdf it is just showing a corner of the image because it seems to be far too big. In addition the figure covers some of the text. I tried already different formats and converted the picture to jpeg and pdf but it does not change anything.

The code ist just

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
  \caption{caption}
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{abb1.pdf}
\end{figure}
Thank you for any comment

Hi Tobi,

did you get error messages or warnings? If yes, please post them here.
Perhaps also post your preamble. Usually the best way to get a problem fixed is posting a Infominimal working example. Just the code above should not cause the problem.
