Karl,
I am preparing a grant proposals that has to go thur grants.gov
and I am trying to do it with pdftex since some of figures come by a
route that missed postscript going into Type1 pdf direct.
But I can't figure out how to include them. \special doesn't work for
me, and I don't know why. The latest install July 2007 was TEX Live
2007.
Can someone tell me how to do something as simple as
\vbox{\hbox(with fig.pdf) \hbox{figure caption}.
of
\hbox{\vbox(with fig.pdf) \vbox{figure caption}.
that will run under pdftex.
I will be eternally grateful.
I feel like an idiot. I have always been able to do stuff on my own
before. I must be too old and gone soft in the head.
Thanks.
Cheers, John
P.S. I don't have to resize the pdf figures. I know how to make each
the right size initially in pdf and, of course, I convert the eps one
with epstopdf. That works fine until I try to include pdf figure.
