General ⇒ Dvi file

[tarektarek]

Hi,
I compiled the latex file from tex to DVI, I saw the the DVI file (it contains eps pictures) through the Yap and everything is OK. However I have two things:
- Why the save as is disabled?
- When I try to open it in another machine (linux machine) using the document viewer, it shows me the document with empty pictures? I just want to know if this is not a problem, since I will need to submit this file to a conference.

Thanks

Hi,

YAP is able to display embedded eps pictures, but not every dvi viewer provides this feature. On your Linux system you could convert it to postscript using dvips and view the ps file in order to verify it.
Perhaps you could submit the file also in postscript and pdf format to be on the safe side. but I assume if they can process dvi files your file should be ok, because many dvi viewers just cannot display embedded postscript files even if it's compiled correctly.

Can you tell how can I do the conversion?

Thanks,

Just type

Code: Select all

dvips filename.dvi

at the command line (terminal) on your linux computer.
Perhaps have a look at the dvips documentation.
