<div>Thanks.

</div></div>Layout:<br>
~/book/<br>
master.tex<br>
~/book/chapter1/<br>
chapter1.tex<br>
fig1-1.eps<br>
fig1-1.pdf<br>
...<br>
~book/chapter2/<br>
chapter2.tex<br>
fig2-1.eps<br>
fig2-1.pdf<br>
...<br>
...<br>
<br>
Your master.tex file contains:<br>
<br>
\include{chapter1/chapter1.tex}<br>
\include{chapter2/chapter2.tex}<br>
<br>
Go into directory and run<br>
bash:[~/book]$ pdflatex master.tex<br>
...<br>
<br>
If you use bibtex/makeindex/... then run instead of pdflatex<br>
bash:[~/book]$ latexmk -pdf master.tex<br>
<br>
This should work.<br>
<br>
Note: if you insert images into your document you should use relative<br>
paths, e.g. in chapter1.tex:<br>
<br>
\includegraphics{fig1-1} %%% without extension provided that there are<br>
%%% fig1-1.eps _and_ fig1-1.pdf files<br>
