Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ EPS and PNG Images in PDF File

[icerose]

Hi,
I have a heavy file with EPS and PNG figures. The below script is an example only for my problem. Here fig2.eps is actually PNG (cp fig2.png fig2.eps) because of that I use the bounding box. I have ran the script in Linux using the commands

Code: Select all

latex file.tex
dvipdf file.dvi file.pdf

The problem is fig2 cannot appear in the PDF file. I don't want to convert PNG to EPS (convert .png .eps) because it gives me bad figure with shadow. How can I get PDF file with EPS and PNG figures? Please don't read this without reply. Thank you very much.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{minipage}{0.54\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.40,angle=0]{fig1.eps}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{-30 pt}
\begin{minipage}{0.54\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[bb=0 0 640 460,scale=0.50,angle=0]{fig2.eps}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

Hi,

I recommend using pdfLaTeX which directly supports PNG format. You can use EPS images if you convert them to PDF with tools such as epstopdf or by simply loading the epstopdf package which does conversion on the fly.
TeX Live 2010/11 can do the conversion automatically for you.

Thanks Stevan for your prompt reply. I have include
\usepackage{epstopdf} in my tex file and using pdflatex but gives me error: Unknown graphics extension .eps.?
How can i fix it?

Ah. I got it. There was problem in the name of the figures.
Thanks Stevan again
