Conversion Tools ⇒ auto-pst-pdf Problem

[davmt]

I have a problem with getting figures reproduced by the \matlabfig command.
Some days ago everything was working fine and I was able to run the auto-pst-pdf package using pdflatex --shell-escape option.

Whenever I try to generate everything again, the tool gets stuck on the PDFCrop tool for a couple of minutes and after some minutes I realize that the program produce a whole version of the document cropped.

Of course if I set the auto-pst-package to off, I get a normal document without the reproduction of the \matlabfig figures.

This is the error I get.

thanks in advance

PS I have all my figures in the same folder of the tex file, and other .png pictures are rendered correctly so i assume the graphics path is correct

using MikTex2.8, and LEd

thanks in advance

1. load hyperref as laste file
2. delete the option [pdftex] for the document class
and also for package {graphicx}!
3. Do not load color when also loading xcolor
4. do not load package epstopdf when using auto-pst-pdf

thanks a lot that partially solved it

to contribute to people which might bump in this problem

1) i had deleted a dvi file corresponding to the project while cleaning the project
2) i restored the dvi file from an earlier date (outdated project dvi file)
3) auto-pst-pdf ran and worked
4) i tried to run it again and it blocked
5) then i disabled [pdftex] from \includepackage[pdftex]graphicx and it has been working since
