Hi, I just started using Eclipse and EcleTex...with gs, how do you get EcleTeX to create the pdf files as well?
I have specified the location of my ghostscript bin directory and the ps files are created...does the plugin know that ps2pdf is in the lib directory (down one dir and into lib)? Is this option already available...does it embed the fonts?
Ideally, I wouldn't want it creating the pdf file automatically...rather, I would like to click some button whenever I want a PDF file generated. Also, would this button be configurable so as to allow the use of Adobe's Distiller?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
< Checks /> ... well waddayaknow? So there is. But pdfLatex seems to have a problem (an error message box with no title, no text and only an OK button appears).
Using ps->pdf seems to do something (the PDF export wizard dialog goes away) but no file is actually generated.
Admittedly these problems could be a problem with the install of LaTeX on this machine (it is a recent install of MiKTeX).
At the moment am happy with the dvi2pdf approach (it works the way aLUNZ wants it to). But is there any more details that you need to know if there is something with the export wizard that needs to be looked at?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The new version of the plugin will have a project option that allows you to directly compile with pdflatex. This will produce a pdf file instead of the dvi file.

Sounds like you want to set up an external tool. aLUNZ has a setup which can easily create a .pdf from a .dvi. The external tool configuration is:
name: dvi2pdf
Main:
- Location: C:\MiKTeX\texmf\miktex\bin\dvipdfm.exe
- Working Directory: ${project_loc}
- Arguments: ${resource_loc}
Refresh:
- Refresh resources upon completion
- The project containing the specified resource.
After adding "dvi2pdf" to the External Tool favourites, creating a .pdf simply requires selecting the .dvi file then Run dvi2pdf.
This may not be exactly what you want, but hopefully it is of some help.

Umm there is a PDF export wizard. If you just right click on the project and select export, then you should see it.

hi there,
you can create a pdf via external tools, too:
name: 2pdf
Main:
- Location: C:\mitex\miktex\pdflatex.exe
- Working Directory: ${project_loc}
- Arguments: -interaction=nonstopmode ${project_loc}\index.tex
where index.html is the main file of your .tex system
Refresh:
- Refresh resources upon completion
- The project containing the specified resource.

where do i get the dvi file.
Cant understand this plugin. do I need a miktex installed?
Do i have to set some external variables.
this is an editor, and what have i to do to compile this tex files.
Thanx Chris
