MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ image problems with beamer

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Here's a profile screenshot to compare, here's a list. It should be comparable even though it's in German.
But show us your log file produced by the LaTeX => PDF run of TeXnicCenter, it will tell us more. You could post it as attachment here.

It is ok now. I have the same output profile with your files and it works but now i can not add eps files.
But ill try to play around with this and hopefully won't need to come back.
Thanks again!

You could convert the eps files to pdf by epstopdf.
There's even a package epstopdf that can do it on the fly.

Yeap this what Im trying to use. Im getting the error message
"Package pdftex.def error : Can not find File "name".pdf not found
Im trying to include though an eps file. Doesnt "on the fly " mean that it should do the conversion on compilation?

The epstopdf package uses an external executable called epstopdf. You will need the -enable-write18 switch when calling the compiler.

Hi localghost.
Thanks for your reply.
I look into this program but it also seems to me that i could sort this out if i could undrstand why when i latex=>ps a beamer file i get the above problem , i.e the slide occupies only the bottom left corner of the page. Because otherwise the slide is what it should be and handles eps files fine. Is there away i could post this ps file so that you can see what Im talking about?

You could post it as attachment here, perhaps zip/compress it before.
