unknown graphics extension

Post by kentman234 »

Dear all,

I have problems with TexStudio concerning figures. It was working for me but now it isn't..it always shows me "unknown graphics extension"

like for example, for this command:

\includegraphics[width=5in]{FIG2DISC.EPS}

it gives the error message.

What can I do? Thank you.

pdflatex cannot use eps figures.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

No, it is not possible to use eps figures with pdflatex. It is possible though, that the eps figures have been converted. With the amount given, i cannot say anything.

My car is broken but it worked before.

:) thank you for nice answer. I totally understand you need more information.What kind of information do you want? Anyway, i was really using eps formats as they are like for example myfile.eps. It worked like this. That's what I wanted to say. No need to be offended.

Have you made any changes in your setup?
Have you been using latex (instead of pdflatex) before and converted the dvi file to pdf?
