MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ epstopdf error in WinEdt

[sushil]

Hi,
I am using epstopdf utility in WIndows in WinEdit. I see the following error on my log file which is
--------------------------------------------------------------
!pdfTeX error: (file ch1/asfinal.pdf): cannot find image file
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

------------------------------------------------------

I came to know that I have to use

'-shell-escape'

option in pdfLatex for external utility.

Can some helps where to put these line in WinEdt???

Thanks in advance

with best,

Using MiKTeX you have to enable this feature by calling the compiler with the switch -enable-write18.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,

Thanks.

from googling I found that I have to give this option as you mentioned "-enable-write18".

But do not know how to give it when I am using WinEdt (I do not use command prompt!). Do I need to give it in some file of MikTex package.

This configuration has to be done in the build settings of WinEdt itself. Since I do not use WinEdt, I can only suggest to visit the Help&Documentation section on the page of the WinEdt community [1]. Perhaps there you will find appropriate help.
