General ⇒ Problems with LATEX => PS => PDF

[jz001]

Hello,

I'm using TEXnicCenter 2.0 alpha, MikTEX 2.8 and Ghostscript 8.71 on Windows XP. I'm trying to use LATEX => PS => PDF, because EPS are included.

I get the following error message:

Ghostscript (ps2pdf)> %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: mysetup ]%%
Ghostscript (ps2pdf)> GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

I get the same error code using TEXnicCenter 1, MikTEX 2.7 and Ghostscript 8.63.

I've als tried different argmument settings and calling of the ps2pdf.bat in gs871\lib.

Thanks in advance

Try install the newest 32 bit versions and follow the following order.

1. Install Ghostscript.
2. Install MiKTeX.
3. Install Adobe Reader.
4. Install TeXnicCenter.

If you follow the steps above, TeXnicCenter will be populated with latex-ps-pdf output profile automatically.

I have done it many times and works.


Thank you.


Yuko.

Even if you did not follow the steps that yoyoimut suggested, you can start the wizard after pressing Alt+F7 and clicking the button in the lower left corner of the dialogue window. This will fetch all possible build profiles subsequently.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the suggestions, but I did like yoyoimut and get the same mistakes.

I have also did a complete new installation of Windows XP with a new Partition, but nothing works. On this system Windows XP, Ghostscript, Adobe Reader, Miktex (Basic Installation) and TEXnic Center is installed only. I get the same mistakes on different computers with different versions of Ghostscript. My colleagues don't have such problems on their computers.

The menu entry LATEX => PS => PDF does exist but does not work. The menu entry LATEX => DVI => PDF works well, but the active hyperrefs get lost.
