dvi with eps to pdf

[Paulina]

How to define an output profile that converts dvi files (with eps
pictures inside) to pdfs?
The way I do it now:
dvips.exe -Ppdf myfile.dvi
ps2pdf.exe myfile.ps
Can TeXnicCenter do it for me? :)

There is a profile called
LaTeX=>PS=>PDF
I use the DVI Profile only while I'm writing the file. For the final
output you can use the Profile above.

I don't have that profile. Will ps work well with eps files?

Dear Paulina,

why don't you simply _try_? Be assured nothing will explode ;o)

Yes, it WILL work. By the way eps means encapsulat postscript :)

Thank you for your help. My question was: HOW to create a profile
(one or the other) that will make a pdf with eps. Advice on how to
use a pc software are not exactly what I was hoping to get in this
group.

Paulina,

The build profile is really a collection of DOS commands that are executed
whenever the compile and/or view commands in TXC are chosen.

There is a program called ps2pdf14.bat that, in the TeXLive2005
distribution, resides in the folder C:\texlive2005\xemtex\gslib. This
program converts a ps file into a pdf file. It is not in my path, so I
have created a small batch file that I have placed in the folder
C:\texlive2005\bin\win32, which is in my path; actually it is quite easy
to change the registry setting to include that folder in the path, but
this method illustrates the versatility of the TXC build profile.

The batch file is called ps2pdfmake.bat and goes like this:

@rem Add GhostScript paths to your Path variable:
@set Path=%Path%;C:\texlive2005\xemtex\gslib
@set GS_OPTIONS=-sPAPERSIZE=a4

@if "%1"=="" goto end

@echo + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
@echo Convert %1.ps to %1.pdf
@echo + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ps2pdf14.bat %1.ps

:end

Now to create the build profile, go to the build profiles by typing
ALT+F7, then create a new profile by copying your existing build profile
for creating a ps file. Now go to the post-processor tab for this new
profile, and add another line after the DVIps line; type in any old tag in
the main white box, and for the executable type
`C:\TeXLive2005\bin\win32\ps2pdfmake.bat' and `%bm' for the argument.

The viewer will be gsview which will show pdf files. If you want Adobe
Reader then you will have to copy the commands from the pdflatex build
profile.

I attach my build profile that can be imported into your system. (You may
have different paths for these executables, and you will have to modify
them accordingly.)

I hope that this helps.

John

Hi Arun,
you can use the following:

<cid:part1.03040201.03040902-***@public.gmane.org>\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{../test.pdf}
\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

Really necessary is only the command in the center "\includegraphics".
With this command you can also insert jpg and some other. You need the
package "graphicx" (with x at the end) to use this command. However, if
you want to use graphics frequently in your documents I would recommend
you to use the package "picins" in addition. The documentation is quite
short and easy to understand.
Hope this was helpful,

Yannick

How to define an output profile that converts dvi files (with eps
pictures inside) to pdfs?
dvips.exe -Ppdf myfile.dvi
ps2pdf.exe myfile.ps
Can TeXnicCenter do it for me? :)

Yes.

Use the "Build | Define Output Profiles..." dialog. Now you have two
options:

1. Is Ghostscript installed on your system? If yes, TXC should find it
with the wizard (bottom-left button in that dialog) and create a "Latex
=> PS => PDF" profile.

2. If TXC does not find Ghostscript, do the following:

a) Copy the "LaTeX => DVI" profile and rename it accordingly.

b) Go to the "Postprocessor" tab in that dialog and create the following
two postprocessors (please adjust the paths to your needs):

Name: DviPs (PDF)
Executable: C:\Programme\texmf\miktex\bin\dvips.exe
Arguments: -P pdf "%Bm.dvi"


Name: Ghostscript (ps2pdf)
Executable: D:\Programme\gstools\gs\gs8.51\bin\gswin32c.exe
Arguments: -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile="%bm.pdf" -c save pop -f "%bm.ps"


You may want to use your "ps2pdf.exe" instead of "gswin32c.exe" for the
second postprocessor.


Hope, I could help you.


Ciao.Tino.

Hey,

I'm wondering how I can manipulate table numeration in a TeX document.
With figures you can have subfigures to get 1a 1b 1c instead of 1 2 3....but for tables, they are automatically numbered and I don't know if there exists a 'subtable' package or command?

I need to get Table 1a and 1b (as an example) not Table 1 Table 2.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Polina

There is a package called `subfloats' that has a `\begin{subtables}
environment' as well as `\begin{subfigures}'; I have never used it though.
See TLC second edition page 321.

[Arek Kuźniewski]

I don't understand what do you mean by "subtable", becouse sub- mean
that "something" is in another "something" (but both of "something" are
the same type), for example few of \subsection are in \section.

If you use "table" environment to numerate (and describe) tables, you
have the "table" counter to numerate it.
For example if you want to numerate your tables like this:
1a (where 1 is the section number and a is the table number)
you can use:
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{section}\alph{table}}

In this example 1 can be any counter in format \thecounter or
\countertype{counter} (\roman{counter}, or any character (for example "1").

The document is like this:

\documentclass{report}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{section}\alph{table}}

\begin{document}
\section{my section}
\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3
\end{tabular}
\caption{first table}
\end{table}

text

\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3
\end{tabular}
\caption{second table}
\end{table}
\end{document}


You can't use table environment like this:
\begin{table}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\end{tabular}
\caption{first subtable}
\end{table}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\end{tabular}
\caption{second subtable}
\end{table}
\caption{big table}
\end{table}

If I wrong understand your problem description, describe what do you
want to do.

Use the \subtable command included in the subfigure package (check
the package documentation for more details).

Okay, converting to pdf works fine :)
Except that ps doesn't see the "tgothic" package. Dvi and pdf is
created correctly.
Another question:
What command closes Foxit Reader (pdf) in the Viewer section of
profiles?

Hi Alan,

Thanks for explaining how to set up the LaTeX => PS => PDF profile (a
few weeks back).

I think I followed all of your instructions, but my build does not
produce the pdf file (it produces the dvi and ps files fine).

After creating the ps file, it looks like it is finding the ghostcript
program, but I see the following message in TXC output window.
GPL Ghostscript 8.15 (2004-09-22)
... [some copyright information ]
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting ****

Any ideas about what could be wrong? I am using 1 Beta 6.31 ("Firenze")

Best regards,
Karen

- change arguments for DVIps to : -P pdf "%Bm.dvi"

Hi Karen,

I would upgrade to the newest GPL Ghostscript 8.54 and the newest
TeXnicCenter 7.01 "Greengrass" - maybe some path are not set correctly!

I recommend to uninstall all prior versions of Ghostscript and set up a
clean
installation - path: c:\Program Files\gs - You can use the Output-Profile
Assistant of TexnicCenter to set the path right!

Kris

Hi Karen and Kristof,

Yes, I would suggest to Karen (or Paulina!!) to upgrade to gs8.54 and
TeXnicCenter 7.01.

One could also use the mikTeX ghostscript in place of GhostScript itself:
in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\miktex\bin\mgs.exe
use the button next to the : "LaTeX => PS => PDF profile/ Postprocessor
/ Executable" to find it

Let us know the result.

Karen, you have to close the pdf file before you compile it because Adobe
Reader locks it. It can be done automatically if you add the DDE command
[DocClose("%bm.pdf")] in the "Close document before running Latex" section
in TexnicCenter.
