You need a pdf-version of the figure. If you are on LInux, you can enter 'epstopdf xx.eps' on the commandline (if epstopdf is installed). That generates xx.pdf. Then run texexec again.

Although your problem is solved, a short remark. I also had this problem recently. It was because my eps file was not in the right text format (unix, in my case). Converting the eps file solved this problem. Maybe you have something similar at hand? just for the record. :) Peter

Hi,

texexec's --pdf switch uses pdfetex to generate a pdf document directly, and pdftex does not accept images in eps format, only .pdf, .jpg and .png are supported.

The error message is slightly misleading, because it actually means:

"figures: xx.eps.pdf has zero dimensions"

If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex).

Side note: it is generally better to use a 'bare' \externalfigure[xx] instead of giving an explicit extension. That way, assuming you have xx.eps and xx.pdf, both dvi and pdf trajects would work without the need for source changes.

Greetings, Taco
