Document Classes ⇒ why aren't graphs OK in pdf

[fati]

Hello

Why is it that when I include graphs created in latex with pstricks i can visualize them correctly in dvi but not in pdf? I use texnicenter, people that use winedt don't have this problem!!!
Can anyone help me?

You can't use PSTricks (postscript tricks) directly with pdflatex, except you use the pst-pdf package. But you can take the route LaTeX -> PS -> PDF. If you don't have such a build profile in TeXnicCenter, you can obtain one here in the TeXnicCenter forum.

I'm sorry for my ignorance but ... how can I do that?

And, by the way, if I loose both the original tex and pdf files, is there a way to recover the tex from the dvi?

Thanks a lot for your help, it's not the 1st time this forum is quite useful..

We have an extra forum here for TeXnicCenter. You can reach it directly from the Index. There in the subforum "General" you will find a (sticky) topic where I provided a build profile "LaTeX => PS => PDF" [1]. All necessary descriptions about how to import that profile into TeXnicCenter are given there.

No. At least I don't know any method. You can compare that with baking a cake. Try to separate the ingredients.

Hi

I'm sorry for being such a pain. I imported the file as you suggested, now I get the message
[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
Cannot execute the command

I simply saved the file in the miktex\bin folder and imported it from there, what can there be wrong?

Thanks for the pacience...

As I already stated in that topic, the profile works without any error hence the failure must be on your side. Other users got it work. Check very carefully if you adapted all paths to the required executables. It seems to me like you missed adapting the path to the Adobe Reader. Saving the file to the texmf tree was unnecessary since you could have imported it from anywhere else.
