General ⇒ graphics not appearing in output

[cooperle]

I'm having some trouble with my figures not appearing, or appearing with very large margins between the graphics and caption. Figures are being included like this:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figures/workflow}
\caption{Some explanation here.}
\label{fig:workflow}
\end{figure}

1. If I use the latex compiler with .eps graphics files, all of the captions appear but some of the graphics are blank (leaving large blank spaces on the page).

2. Converting the eps files to pdf using eps2pdf, and using pdflatex, all the graphics appear but most figures have a really large margin between the graphics portion and the caption. This is true even for the figures that appeared normally with latex compilation.

I'm using MikTex 2.7 with TeXnicCenter 7.1. There are no errors or warnings after compile. I have manually checked all of the bounding boxes in the eps files using GSView and they are all correct. I'm relatively new at latex so i'm at a loss here. My boss and I have spent a lot of time trying to resolve this and I'm out of ideas.

Hi Cooperle,

welcome to the board!
Because all graphics appeared with pdflatex and you already did the conversion it may be effective to fix it using pdflatex.
Check if the included pdf files have white margins causing the unwanted space. You could remove the margins by pdfcrop.
