PDF output with pst-pdf
Hello all,
pst-pdf manual says I can use include graphics with eps files so I try
for example:
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{figures/kripke.eps}
\caption{Representation of Kripke Structure Example}
\label{fig:kripke}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
However, when pdflatex gets here:
Error: pdflatex (file figures/kripke.pdf): cannot find image file
==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Paulo Matos

Yes. Read the "Usage" section of the pst-pdf package *before* posting
here questions such as the one above.

Aren't you being a bit rude? I hope a good night sleep solves that!
Anyway, I read it *before* posting, however, I didn't *understand* it.
I don't know much about bounding boxes, pages, blablabla. I just want
to include a simple image and when I *read* the manual *before*
posting, it said that EPS file were supported using includegraphics.

And you don't need to know that to solve your problem.

Yes. And it also says *how* to do it, at the "Usage" section.

You will have to describe what you already tried - or what you did not
understand.
As for your question:
1.) There is an pst-pdf-example.tex that is produced if you run latex on
the pst-pdf.ins which you can download from ctan. There you will find,
among other code,
\begin{postscript}
\includegraphics{picture.eps}
\end{postscript}
2.)(re)read section 2.2 of the documentation with special attention to
the last paragraph.

Part of this is, I believe, slightly confusing. The documentation
says:
While creating the output only code from inside a pspicture or
postscript environment
is considered.
So i thought for a long time that you had to use a special environment
for using pst-pdf. However, this is not the case, as it will
successfully handle something like:
\begin{figure}
\psfrag{something-here}
\includegraphics{an-eps-file}
\caption{An example}
\end{figure}
I assume that the statement in the documentation:
PostScript graphics files, which are passed as parameter of an
\includegraphics statement, too are included into the \PDFcontainer
file.
indicates this, but as I say the previous sentence in the manual
doesn't mention \includegraphics.

To be fair to the OP, I'm not sure that the documentation is
absolutely clear. The last paragraph of section 2.2(c) in the
documentation starts with the sentence:
While creating the output only code from inside a pspicture or
postscript environment is considered.
Which I'd taken to mean that every \includegraphics that you wanted
processed had to be inside a pspicture or postpicture block. However,
the package will work with an \includegraphics{some-eps-file}
statement even if it is *not* within a \begin{postscript} ...
\end{postscript} block. Yes, that is clear when you read the example
file fully, but I'm not sure that it is as obvious as it could be.

Hi, I have a book which was entirely scanned into a PDF, there are approximately 300 pages. The problem is that each page is an image of the paper page, not selectable text.

You may have to crop it first to get just what you want. And it may not paste into position - you need to move it around. - I suppose it depends on which applications you have at hand. Acrobat will certainly do it.

How can I convert .txt to .pdf or .pdf to .pdf, controlling fonts?
I am trying to put some Quicken reports onto my iPhone, and I find the default .pdf print font is not clear enough. I'd like to try the Arial font (which I find to be the clearest of all fonts), but this involves either 1- converting the Quicken report .txt file to a .pdf, somehow, with control of the font, or 2- converting the Quicken report .pdf file from the default font to an Arial font .pdf and then moving the resulting .pdf to my iPhone. So far, I have failed. Does anyone know how to do this, either on a mac or on a pc?

For anyone struggling to figure out how to create a PDF in SWX it's pretty simple but you may have to have the Bluebeam version of swx FIRST go to Tools>Options and check "Save as PDF" Then you can save them right from the save as dialog. Maybe I'm the only dumbass that could't figure that out! ;0) But it was in help under "PDF" An easier way is to download a program from www.pdf995.com that "prints" you files to a PDF foramat.

convert PDF images to PDF text (OCR)
Hi, I have a book which was entirely scanned into a PDF, there are approximately 300 pages. The problem is that each page is an image of the paper page, not selectable text. How can I convert this PDF made of images to a text-selectable PDF? Or directly convert it to Word? I suppose I'll need some form of OCR. Thanks in advance, Raphael Yes, since you have an image, you need to OCR it into data. You will not have much luck with any formating info, but most OCR programs today to a pretty good job if the image is fairly clean . Larry T. larrynospam@nospamjbmsystems.com wrote in message...
scanned image pdf to searchable text pdf
We have a lot of pdf files that are just scanned images of documents. How easy is it to change these into pdf's that we can search for specific words. I believe Adobe Acrobat Capture will do this when the document is originally scanned, but can it use pdf's that have already been created. If it can, can this process be automated to convert 100s of pdf files? Are there other alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Capture as it is not cheap for a large number of documents? I am new to this, so please keep it simple. Thanks for any help. Adrian HI, As you indicated, your pdf's are ...

Copy from a PDF to PDF
Is it possible to copy a piece of text from a page (not the whole page) from a PDF file and paste it into another PDF file in a desired position?

You may have to crop it first to get just what you want. And it may not paste into position - you need to move it around. - I suppose it depends on which applications you have at hand. Acrobat will certainly do it. MSD Thx, I crop the desired rectangle in the first PDF, select it with the TouchUp Object Tool, then copy it, but the WHOLE page is pasted in the second PDF and I'd like to have only the part I want. At least this is what I get with ACROBAT 5.0. Am I doing something wrong?

PDF to Text with garbage output
Hello, I've been using pdftotext (part of the Xpdf library) to convert pdfs. Some of the time it works, but with about half of the documents I try to convert, the output is garbage. (e.g, =A2=A1=A4=A3=A5=A3=A6=A1=A8=A7=A9= =A7=A9) Does anyone know of another approach to this problem (extracting the text from the pdf)? Is there some encoding feature I'm missing, or does this mean I need some OCR software?
