<pre wrap="">Hello,
I have a really strange problem I have no clue how to handle: If I
include a pdf file with xelatex using \includegraphic, it doesn't
show up, though the log clearly states it has been used:
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/babel/ngermanb.ldf)) (./
xetex.aux)
[1] <use "textimalli-probe.pdf" >
Overfull \hbox (159.37689pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 22--25
[][]
The included file is another text file produced some times earlier
with xelatex. When I run pdflatex, the pdf shows up, with xelatex not.
I attach the file and two pdfs showing the output. The file size
shows clearly that the pdf doesn't get included when using xelatex.

Very strange. Do you see the same problem if you try a different
document class, such as article? Have you tried different pdf files,
including from different sources, to see if it's something about this
particular file?
It might be helpful to see the complete .log of the job.
Try running "xelatex -no-pdf XETEX-FILE" to generate a .xdv file, and
then "xdvipdfmx -v XDV-FILE" to generate the final pdf, and see if
there are any clues in the messages it displays during processing.

Ok, that solved the case. I cannot reproduce it but this is how it went:<br>
<br>
xdvipdfmx complained that the version of the pdf file was too high
(1.5), while it would only take 1.3. I rememberd anoterh thread about
this here recently and looked for a solution there. I issued the
command suggested in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-November/007883.html:">http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-November/007883.html:</a><br>
<br>
xelatex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -V 5" filename.tex<br>
<br>
and indeed the pdf got included. Then I tried to find the conifg file
dvipdfmx.cfg to make this change forever... But on my ubuntu there is
none such file! But the magic happened: xelatex/xdvipdfmx remember that
I have once demanded the higher version pdf -- now it just works...<br>
<br>
So to conlude: It was a problem with the pdf version, and I could solve
it, but I don't really know how and why...<br>
<br>
Greetings<br>
