Hello all,
I use LyX 1.3.5 in suse 9.0. I'm writing a scientific document that
will have around 200 pages or more, with a lot of equations, figures
in eps format and tables. My way of working consists in, once I have
my document finished, I export this to .tex format. Then, from the
command line, I work with this converting this to .dvi format using
latex and bibtex from the command line.
When I compile the document to .dvi format, all the document looks as
I want. But when I convert the .dvi document, to .pdf, using in the
command line:
dvipdf document.dvi
there is an error message: ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1: Unrecoverable
error, exit code 1.
I don't understand this so I tried compiling with dvipdfm using:
dvipdfm document.dvi
and this time the .pdf document is generated without errors. But when
I have a look at the document I see some figures "broken", and some
other don't appear.
I don't know what to do now to compile my document to .pdf. Could
somebody help me ?
I don't know how to fix this error, but you may be able to sidestep it:
How about using pdflatex, which converts the .tex file directly
to .pdf? The only problem then will be your .eps figures, as
pdflatex doesn't like .eps. But .eps images can be converted to
.pdf image by using the epstopdf utility.
This way, you sidestep all issues with .dvi conversions as you
no longer goes via the .dvi format.
