Importing PDF to SWP
Importing PDF to SWP document
I'm having trouble getting .pdf images into a Scientific Workplace document. I've tried inserting a line like the following in a TeX field:
\includegraphics{name_figure.pdf}
Since my .pdf file is held in a folder that isn't familier to Scientific Workplace, I added a line like the following to the preamble:
\graphicspath{G:/folder_1/folder_2/folder_3/}
where folder_3 is the folder the image sits in.
When I compile the document (e.g., Preview PDF) I always get a fatal error saying that the PDF can't be found, such as:
Error: pdflatex.exe (file name_figure.pdf)
: cannot find image file
==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!
name_figure.pdf
[pdfLaTeX finished]
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
You cannot use File, Import
You cannot use File, Import Picture to add a .pdf graphics to SW. It would be possible to add an encapsulated TeX field using the direct LaTeX \includegraphics macro from the graphics package to insert a .pdf graphics (when compiling for PDF). You would need to include the complete path to the graphics file (using forward slashes) or add a \graphicspath statement to the document preamble that specifies the location of the graphics (ending the path with a slash).
