Page Layout ⇒ includegraphics/includepdf pdf

[NinV]

Hi,

I would like to include a pdf page into my document.

I tried the package pdfpages but I've got a lot of error because of the images I use, I think.

I've read that it is possible to use the command \includegraphics, but when I compile the document (->DVI) I get the following error message

Error: /undefined in obj

Here it is a minimal example:

\end{document}

Ifa.pdf is attached.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Images must be in .eps format to be included in a DVI file. If you want to use PDF, JPG, PNG and similar images, compile your document with pdflatex instead of latex (you'll get PDF output instead of DVI).

BTW, most of the packages in your MWE have nothing to do with this issue, so they should be omitted.

If I compile with pdflatex I'll lost all images

Do you know another method? I did browse internet, but I didn't succeed to get a solution.

Yes, I know. I've just taken them from my original document...

Thanks for your attention.

What kinds of images does your document contain? It should be easy enough to convert them a format compatible with pdflatex in most cases, perhaps even on the fly.

JPG/EPS

How?

BTW, I converted the pdf page to image and inserted it as jpg.

Many thanks for your help.


Ciao,

PS Sorry for "I'll lost" instead of "I'll lose"

Well, if you are not obliged to provide your document in a DVI file, I'll recommend that you use pdflatex. However, pdflatex doesn't support EPS images, so they must be converted to another format (preferably PDF). The conversion may be done using epstopdf program on Linux.

BTW, I wouldn't convert PDF to JPG if I don't have a good reason for that. JPG is a lossy bitmap format, while PDF encapsulates complete description of a document including vectors, bitmaps, fonts etc. This means that, if you have a vector file (e.g. EPS) and then convert it to PDF, you still have a vector file. But when you convert it to JPG, vectors are converted to dots (bitmap) and lose their quality, which is especially noticeable when the image is scaled. Beside that, vectors always result in a much smaller file size than bitmaps.

Thanks, meho_r!

I didn't know all that... well I don't know a lot of things!

Thank you very much.

You can also try using the epstopdf package to convert on the fly.
