It is like that also in 1.3, but: Unfortunately both in 1.3 and 1.4 the output type for pdflatex for automatic conversion is hardcoded to png. This is fine for bitmap images, but not for vector graphics. This problem has been discussed several times before, but to solve it we would need an algorithm to determine wether to convert to png or pdf from a given format, and up to now nobody came up with such a beast. > I meant: which wiki page should it be added to? I don't know. Put it where you think it fits, if it turns out that there is a better place people will move it. Georg
