MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Problems with eps-figures that contains text

[atler]

Hi,

I hope you can help me with the following problem: Yap does not respond if I try to view a dvi-file that contains an eps-figure with text in it.

To include the figure I use the following commands in the tex-file:

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{dummyfigur5.eps}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The eps-file has been created from a Visio-file by PDFMaker.
If there is no text in the file from wich the eps-file is created, everything works fine. The eps-file then contains the following initial segment:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%Title: (BlaBla.vsd)
%%Version: 1 4
%%Creator: Adobe Acrobat 7.0
%%CreationDate: 16:40:36 01/21/08
%%For: (x)
%%DocumentData: Clean7Bit
%%LanguageLevel: 2
%ADO_ContainsXMP: MainFirst
%%BoundingBox: 189 450 351 630
%%HiResBoundingBox: 188.792 449.577 350.92 629.72
%%Pages: 0
%%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
%%DocumentSuppliedResources:
%%+ procset (Adobe Acrobat - PDF operators) 1.2 0
%%EndComments

However, if the figure from which the eps-file is created contains text, then Yap stops responding as soon as I scroll down to the place where the figure should be (when viewing the dvi-file). In this case the initial segment of the eps-file looks like this:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%Title: (BlaBla.vsd)
%%Version: 1 4
%%Creator: Adobe Acrobat 7.0
%%CreationDate: 16:31:41 01/21/08
%%For: (x)
%%DocumentData: Clean7Bit
%%LanguageLevel: 2
%ADO_ContainsXMP: MainFirst
%%BoundingBox: 135 504 342 657
%%HiResBoundingBox: 134.808 503.561 341.912 656.872
%%Pages: 0
%%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
%%DocumentNeededResources: (atend)
%%DocumentSuppliedResources:
%%+ procset (Adobe Acrobat - PDF operators) 1.2 0
%%+ procset (Adobe Acrobat - type operators) 1.2 0
%%EndComments

As you can see, the line
%%+ procset (Adobe Acrobat - type operators) 1.2 0
has now been added. I suspect this has something to do with it, but I have no idea how to solve the problem. Can anyone help?

What is the behaviour when viewing the files with GSview? Are there any difficulties?

Hi Thorsten,

There is no problem when viewing the eps files with GSview. The figures (including the text) are displayed correctly, and there are no error messages.

Best regards

Not only since I also have massive problems with Yap 2.6.2639 (it only displays the first page of any document opened), I compile to PS for quick build and then view the result with GSview. You won't get fat on one or two more seconds of processing. Perhaps this could be an alternative for you, too. On my Linux system (openSUSE 10.3 with TeXLive 2007) the viewers are much more stable and therefore I use a DVI viewer.

I have found the forward and inverse search functions in Yap/TeXnicCenter to be very useful, therefore I would prefer to be able to use Yap. My Yap version is 2.5.2466.
