> 1. does dvipdfm work if you use draft mode for graphics?<BR><BR>> This shoudl give a pdf file with boxes outlining the places<BR>> where figures will appear.<BR><BR>
Yes, dvipdfm works in draft mode.<BR>
<BR>> 2. can you convert the EPS to pdf using "eps2pdf ..."?<BR><BR>> I think dvipdfm uses much the same conversion, so if this<BR>> fails, I would not exect dvipdfm to work.<BR><BR>
It's not "eps2pdf.exe", but "epstopdf.exe", which can convert an EPS to an PDF. I tried "epstopdf" using the "golfer.eps" and converted "golfer.pdf" looks right in Adobe Reader 7.0.<BR>
<BR>> 3. what does "epstool --test-eps ..." give?<BR><BR>> Many files that have .eps extensions do not meet the<BR>> definition of a .eps file, including some created using<BR>> "name-brand" software. Most such files can be<BR>> converted to pdf and will work with pdflatex.<BR><BR>
There is no "epstool.exe" under the TexLive 2003 install directory, so I can't do this test.<BR>
<BR>> 4. does dvipdfm work using a "known good" .eps file<BR>> such as golfer.eps from the ghostscript examples<BR>> directory?<BR><BR>> If you are still having trouble after all this, please<BR>> read <www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>.<BR>> Note that the best way for us to see the problem is if you<BR>> can provide a minimal example (e.g., under a dozen lines<BR>> of latex and using an eps file that we already have, such<BR>> as golfer.eps). To save time, here is such an example:<BR><BR>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> \documentclass{article}<BR>> \usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx}<BR>> \begin{document}<BR>> Example using \texttt{golfer.eps} from GhostScript.<BR><BR>> \[<BR>> \includegraphics[width=8cm]{golfer.eps}<BR>> \]<BR>> \end{document}<BR><BR>I tried your example and below is the output:<BR>
