Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ includegraphics error

[buttnana]

Hi,

I am trying to add several figures to my latex file. I've been able to do it with:

\begin{center}
\includegraphics{R:\paper\charts\fig1.pdf}
\end{center}

but latex says it can't find the image file when I used:

\begin{center}
\includegraphics{fig1.pdf}
\end{center}

my tex file is in the same directory as the images. I am using Scientific Word. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

Thank you!

Hi,

use pdfLaTeX instead of LaTeX, i.e. compile directly to pdf.
If you already did that, please tell us more: the exact error message for instance. Or post the log file as attachment here.

I've attached a screenshot of the error I get in Scientific word, and I am using pdfLatex.

Thank you!

Don't use backslashes, they start a (La)TeX command.
Instead use slashes, for example:

Code: Select all

\includegraphics{R:/paper/charts/fig1.pdf}
