\placefigure problems in Xetex
Hello Unfortunately, I get dummy boxes instead of .pdf figures in the XeteXed document. I know, it has been discussed already in the list. However, I downloaded and installed the fresh version of TexLive2007 today, and no problems from updating shouldn't arise. The log says: figures : dimensions of ./f01.pdf calculated by rlxtools system(texmfstart rlxtools --identify ./f01.pdf)...disabled. figures : dimensions of ./f01.pdf calculated by rlxtools figures : figure f01.pdf can not be found Surely, the figure is present in the same directory as the .tex document itself. (The same running pdftex works fine). Best, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
Hi, again, I've been through this a couple of days ago so I'm happy to share my experience with you ;-) For me the problem was not having installed ImageMagick in the first place. But judging from your log this doesn't seem to be the problem. Let me think ... perhaps your glitch might be related to a funny thing I stumbled upon: including a PDF figure with \externalfigure resulted in a crazy distortion of the image although I didn't specify any height or width arguments (i.e. I didn't override its natural dimensions)... Hans, Mojca, do you have any ideas? I'm going to send a test file tomorrow ... Best, Oliver

I do not run XeTeX, but guessing from the error message, is write18 enabled on your system? Aditya

Hello,
Just to let you all know: ConTeXt with pdfTeX creates PDF version 1.5
by default, and xdvipdfmx driver of XeTeX (which became the default
one) isn't capable to handle those files. It handles PDF 1.4 OK, so if
you have some PDFs with a too recent version, you should convert them
to a lower version first. (I suppose that it's possible to use a lower
version as a setting in pdfTeX, and probably you can use gs to convert
an existing PDF.)
xdv2pdf handles recent PDFs OK.
So, in case that you have problems with image inclusion, you know what
the problem might be, and it's not sure when it will be solved. (The
problem described below has different kind of problems though.)

PDF version 1.5) So one can say \pdfminorversion=4 and cross the fingers....
