Hi all

In Mathematica I have the following code: Export["plot.pdf", Plot[x^2,
{x, 1, 2}], ImageSize -> 100]

Now, when I include "plot.pdf" in my LaTeX-document, my compiler says
that there is no bounding-box, and hence it will not compile. What is
the issue here? Mathematica or LaTeX?

Also, is it possible to change the font of the numbers on the plot?


Sincerely,
Jim Lambaugh.

That's a common problem that is easily solved in either of two ways:

(1) Process the LaTeX file with pdfTeX so as to directly convert from
..tex source to .pdf output. This should avoid the bounding box problem.

(2) Instead of doing the Mathematica Export to .pdf, Export to .eps.
Next, run an ordinary LaTeX processor that produces .dvi output.
Finally, convert from .dvi to .ps and then from .ps to .eps.

I do (2) all the time, since I get the quickest workflow that way. But I
use (1) sometimes, too.

To be sure, I tried both solutions using MiKTeX 2.8 and the following
..tex source file. I show the version for method (1); change the
extension from "pdf" to "eps" for method (2).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}

\begin{document}

Here's a plot:

\begin{figure}[h!]
\includegraphics{plot.pdf}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

hi, I usually export to "EPS" without problems; the textstyle can be
controlled using TextStyle, e.g.

Export["fig.eps",Plot[x^2,{x,1,2},TextStyle->{FontSize->14,...}],"EPS"]

Sounds like you're struggling with LaTeX to me. Are you running
pdfLaTeX to compile the code? To verify that it's not the Mathematica,
what version (and operating system are you running)?




From: Peter Breitfeld on 5 Mar 2010 04:37
I suspect you tried to compile with latex not with pdflatex. Only
pdflatex can handle pdf-pictures.

Depending on your system you may choose the way tex ---> pdf, not
tex-->dvi ...
