Re: [MiKTeX] Problem with dvi2pdf or pdftex

[Jorge R. <ne...@gm...>]

Hans:

I recently noticed that pstricks does not work with DVI, instead I
compile the tex file in the following order:

Latex->PS->PDF

Are you using Texniccenter as the editor? If so, you could edit the
output profile for doing this automatically. These are my parameters:

Postprocesor tab:
DVIPS
executable: dvips.exe
arguments: "%bm.dvi"
PS2PDF
executable: ps2pdf.exe
arguments: "%bm.ps"


in the Viewer tab:
View project output with DDE command: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]
Server: acroviewR10 (if using Accrobat reader X, else just acroview)
topic: control
forward search: use command line argument  "%bm.pdf"
close document use DDE command:
[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocClose("%bm.pdf")] with same server and topic

cheers,

 Jorge.
