To fix this, - - 1. Use "epstopdf" to convert all of your EPS images to PDF - 2. Make sure that you are using the "graphicx" package for including images. - 3. Remove any .eps or .ps extensions from filenames in your LaTeX file - - When you run LaTeX, graphicx will use the dvips driver to incorporate EPS - files. When you run pdflatex, it will pick up the pdftex driver and incorporate - the PDF files. |
