  • Up & Running: PDFLATEX in Miktex 1.09
    Up & Running: PDFLATEX in MikTEX 1.09 David Meeker February 25, 1998 1 Configuration I upgraded from MikTEX 1.08 to 1.09 just by downloading and unzipping the distribution files ending in 109 from CTAN. Since I already had the full set of Type1 CM fonts stored in a direc- tory outside my texmf tree, I had to modify \texmf\miktex\config\miktex.environment, line 64 to reflect where I have my fonts. If the whole 1.09 distribution is unpacked as-is, then this modification is probably unnecessary. To ensure that everything is consistent with this change, run configure.exe in same directory. I also discovered that I did not have copies of the files supp-pdf.tex and supp-mis.tex that are necessary to properly include graphics into PDFLATEX files. They can be downloaded off of CTAN from the directory macros/pdftex/graphics/. They should be moved to \texmf\tex\latex\base, where the can be found by PDFLATEX. 2 Running PDFLATEX A few special commands need to be put into your LATEX document so that it will produce PDF correctly. In preamble (just before \begin{document}) you need the following: \pdfcompresslevel=9 Requests full compression of the PDF \pdfoutput=1 Tells the program to produce PDF instead of DVI To get automatic links in your pdf, as well as a table of contents, use the package ‘hyperref’ (available from CTAN in /macros/latex/contrib/supported/hyperref). It is called with \usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}, which should be the last package called before \begin{document}. Your document should be compiled at least three times in a row so that all the bookmarks are included properly in the PDF.

  • Converting Files to PDF Format ... for Free By: Tony Silveira
    Converting files to PDF format ... for free by: Tony Silveira Quick Overview 1. Create a document in your word processor 2. "Print" it out to a Postscript file 3. Open the .ps file in Ghostview 4. Convert it to pdf format My pc specs My OS is Windows XP (this has worked with all versions of windows from Win 98), my word processor is MS-Word. To convert to pdf I use the free software program Ghostview. Procedure a. Install a Postscript printer on your PC (doesn't have to actually be attached to a printer, you just need the drivers.) I use HP Color LaserJet PS drivers, to convert color documents b. In your word processing program, open the document you want to convert c. Print the document to a file using the PS printer: File | Print... (choose your PS printer from list), check the box that says print to file. NOTE : Save the file as a .ps file not the default .prn file! (Change the file type to "All Files" then type file name including the ".ps" suffix) d. Open the .ps file using Ghostview e. Convert PostScript to PDF: File | Convert Device: pdfwrite ; Resolution : 600dpi (NOTE : with older Ghostscript, fonts with non- standard encodings will be included as bitmaps. If you choose 72dpi, fonts will look rough) You can then check it with Ghostview or Adobe Reader to be sure it converted properly. Misc. Other things you can do with Ghostview: 1. Convert PDF to PostScript: File | Convert, select pswrite 2. Convert Level 2 PostScript to Level 1 PostScript.

On television, the author of the book "Finding the next Steve Jobs" said that he "would rather hire a self taught programmer than a PhD in computer science". So this self taught course may be your big chance. All of the software used here can be downloaded free from the internet and costs absolutely nothing. The only background you need to do everything presented here is the education of a typical 18 year old. Only a small portion, trigonometric functions and complex numbers, requires that much education. So many instructions are presented here that you will make mistakes and have to start over again. That is normal. If you are determined and persistent you will succeed. If you cannot stand to do anything where you will make mistakes, you should consider janitorial work instead.

The main difference between GL2PS and other similar libraries (see section7) is the use of sorting algorithms capable of handling intersecting and stretched polygons, as well as non manifold objects. GL2PS provides ad- vanced smooth shading and text rendering, culling of invisible primitives, mixed vector/bitmap output, and much more... GL2PS can currently create PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Portable Document Format (PDF) and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files, as well as LATEX files for the text fragments. GL2PS also provides limited, experimental support for Portable LaTeX Graphics (PGF). Adding new vector output formats should be relatively easy; you can also use the excellent pstoedit program to transform the PostScript files generated by GL2PS into many other vector formats such as xfig, cgm, wmf, etc. GL2PS is available at http://www.geuz.org/gl2ps/ and is released under the GNU Library General Public License (see COPYING.LGPL). GL2PS can also be used under an alternative license that allows (amongst other things, and under certain conditions) for static linking with closed-source software (see COPYING.GL2PS).

  • Latex/Importing Graphics
    LaTeX/Importing Graphics There are two possibilities to include graphics in your document. Either create them with some special code, a topic which will be discussed in the Creating Graphics part, (see Introducing Procedural Graphics) or import productions from third party tools, which is what we will be discussing here. Strictly speaking, LaTeX cannot manage pictures directly: in order to introduce graphics within documents, LaTeX just creates a box with the same size as the image you want to include and embeds the picture, without any other processing. This means you will have to take care that the images you want to include are in the right format to be included. This is not such a hard task because LaTeX supports the most common picture formats around. Contents 1 Raster graphics vs. vector graphics 2 The graphicx package 3 Document Options 4 Supported image formats 4.1 Compiling with latex 4.2 Compiling with pdflatex 5 Including graphics 5.1 Examples 5.2 Spaces in names 5.3 Borders 6 Graphics storage 7 Images as figures 8 Text wrapping around pictures 9 Seamless text integration 10 Including full PDF pages 11 Converting graphics 11.1 PNG alpha channel 11.2 Converting a color EPS to grayscale 12 Third-party graphics tools 12.1 Vector graphics 12.2 Raster graphics 12.3 Plots and Charts 12.4 Editing EPS graphics 13 Notes and References Raster graphics vs. vector graphics Raster graphics will highly contrast with the quality of the document if they are not in a high resolution, which is the case with most graphics.

  • Demonstration of Tpx Import Capabilities
    Demonstration of TpX import capabilities Alexander Tsyplakov January 31, 2006 Abstract TpX (http://tpx.sourceforge.net/) is a lightweight, easy-to-use graph- ical editor for Windows platform for creation of drawings and inclusion them into LATEX files in publication-ready form. It can also be used as a stand-alone editor for vector graphics. Under Windows most reasonable programs, which produce graphs, can either export them as EMF files, or copy to clipboard as EMF. TpX can im- port Enhanced Metafiles (EMF) though not 100% correctly. Old-style Win- dows Metafiles (WMF) are imported by converting them to EMF. TpX can also import simple SVG pictures. This document demonstrates TpX import capabilities. Examples are ex- ported from many well-known as well as less known Windows programs. 1 2 Contents 1 Forewarning 3 2 Some remarks 4 3 Windows metafile (EMF) import 5 3.1 Histogram from Mathematica .................... 5 3.2 Vector field from Mathematica .................... 6 3.3 3D plot from Mathematica ...................... 7 3.4 3D plot from Matlab ......................... 8 3.5 Contour plot in polar coordinates from Matlab ........... 9 3.6 Stem plot from Matlab ........................ 10 3.7 Diagram from SmartDraw ...................... 11 3.8 Flowchart from SmartDraw ..................... 12 3.9 Chart from MS Excel #1 ....................... 13 3.10 Chart from MS Excel #2 ....................... 14 3.11 Table from MS Word ......................... 15 3.12 Tulips, Microsoft clipart ....................... 16 3.13 “No smoking”, SVG clipart from KOffice converted by Adobe Il- lustrator ................................ 17 3.14 Tomato, EPS clipart from freeclipart.nu ............... 18 3.15 Brick wall bitmap image vectorized by AutoTrace ........
