When I try to convert my dvi file to pdf, the figures get messed up (e.g., captions are printed over the figure). The dvi file is fine. And I am getting the warning "couldn't open font map file kanjix.map". Problem started when I re-installed MikTex on a new computer. -- John W.

Sequence of commands you're using to get from TeX -> PDF (because there's considerably more than one way) 3. Version of MiKTeX you're installing and, as there's a teeny risk it'll be relevant, version of Windows Which might yield (more) helpful responses... The thread http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.miktex/11996 suggests that there may be a configuration problem with kanjix.map - it sounds like you may also need to have a very up-to-date MiKTeX (though I'm sure Ulrike will pipe up with perfect advice on this *when you post a minimal example*!)

Same problem here. After updating MiKTex the figures and captions are messed up. I found that the problem lays within the (postscript) figures offset. After setting the figures offset to zero everything is oke.

David: Windows 7 MikTex 2.9 (64 bit) - which I just downloaded today Using WinEdit 8 to convert dvi to pdf (so I do not know exactly how it does it) Examples of tex, dvi and pdf files are attached. I just moved to a new computer, but did not have this problem on the old one running MikTex and using WinEdit 7 (I checked with WinEdit, but they said the warnings sounded like a MikTex problem) Paul: When I try to run pdflatex directly (again via WinEdit) I get other problems: messages that certain files are missing. It asks if I want to install them. Although I say "yes" it seems like they do not get installed. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for all the various advice. Obviously I am new to this forum. Code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \begin{center} %\resizebox{3in}{!}{\includegraphics{Chp02Fig01.eps}} \includegraphics{example-image-A} \end{center} \caption{Schematic illustration of the action of a tensor on a vector. The tensor acts on the vector $\mathbf{u}$ and outputs the vector $\mathbf{v}$. This is some more text.} \end{figure} \end{document} This produces dvi file fine, but when I convert dvi to pdf (using WinEdit), the caption over prints the figure.This was not a problem until I installed MikTex (latest version) on a new computer (using Windows 7). If I change figure to pdf and use pdflatex problem does not occur. But this is not a good solution for me as I have many figures in eps (for a book).

One important point is *when* does the error occur? When you write the text? During compilation? Well my crystal ball told me that you tried to open the resulting dvi with YAP: This won't work.

The Granma solution! After a LOT of research, my understanding is that the problem is with the new version of Miktex 2.9. The way I worked around this might sound peculiar but it solved the problem (after I have tried everything else!), so please no criticism for this "Granma approach". Solution: I had an older version of MikTex 2.9 on another laptop, so I just copied the entire MikTex folder from the Program Files (x86) from my other laptop to the one with the faulty (newer) version of MikTex 2.9. Unbelievably enough, since then it works fine! Hope this helps... -- View this message in context: http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/DVI-to-PDF-tp8243p8834.html Sent from the MiKTeX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Hi, MiKTeX users and/or helpers, I have been using Miktex 2.9 on my Windows xp system. As text editor I have WinTex xp (for example at http://www.bestshareware.net/download/wintexxp.htm) which will not run with Windows 7 or 8.1. WinTex includes an editor plus a possibility to call up all the Latex programs like pdfLatex, Bibtex, Makeindex etc. I can even call up Wordpad to read the logfile from inside Wintex. In addition, I could define macros that would expand to larger commands, for example inserting \ite + a blank would expand to \begin{itemize} \item \end{itemize}. I would like to run Miktex on Windows 7 and 8.1 in the future, and sometimes on my old PC with Windows xp. So, I am very much interested in the portable edition from http://miktex.org/portable, which includes TexWorks as editor. I looked through all available TexWorks manuals on the internet, but I cannot find any hint if I will be able to configure TexWorks and include all my favourite programs + if I can configure expandable macros like described above. Does anyone have enough experience with TexWorks to tell me if those options were possible or can anyone recommend a different LaTex editor? I will keep using Miktex on Windows 7 and 8.1 Thanks for any advice. Angelika |

Hi Angelika: Well, I've never used that wonderful editor you mention, indeed see that has not been updated to run on a newer version of Windows XP. On the other hand, just over a month began experimenting with portable MikTeX, it is not very difficult to configure if you've worked with MikTeX and know where to move it (set up). The biggest difference is that you have not two identical menus: administrator and user, is just one. About the editor, although MikTeX comes with TeXworks is not the only option available. You can use by example, TeXstudio which is quite powerful, customizable editor and although it hasn't shortcuts such as you mentioned in your example, has their own and have the ability to load the macros from the packages you use more (within a menu many popular packages and classes). You can read this tutorial about it: http://jimstitzel.com/2010/01/configuring-texmaker-usb-with-miktex-portable/ where as you can see the trick for TeXmaker/TeXstudio is to write well the path to your USB portable installation. Then you can run without problems: pdflatex, latex, bibtex, biber, latexmk, xelatex, lualatex, etc. My suggestion is to use a USB to at least 8 GB which can install MikTeX and PortableApps with SumatraPDF, evince or your favorite document visualizing program and other programs. To avoid compatibility issues plus I suggest that you upgrade MikTeX completely and upload all the missing packages. Depending on your connection speed this may take several minutes or hours. Good luck |

Hi, Aradenatorix, thank you very much for your very useful answer. I will also experiment with TEXstudio. I was also wondering how big a remote disk had to be for portable MikTex. That is now also answered. Thank you very much, and kindest regards, Angelika Gesendet: Samstag, 06.

Hi again Angelika: Well the size of the USB pendirve is in function of the size of the files and documents you want to storage within. MikTeX portable updated and with all the packages could tak about 2.5 GB, you have to take in account also the size of the editors and other software you use, and also the documents and other files you could storage inside. In my case I used a pendrive of 8 GB where I have portable Miktex updated with 3.1 GB, TeXstudio with 148 MB, Arduino with 266 MB, Sublime Text 2 (a very useful editor you can use with LaTeX, log files, and many languages and syntax systems) 26.4 MB, Portable Apps with Evince (a very useful software for view pdf, ps, tex,txt files and much more) and SumatraPDF (a software like Adobe Acrobat) 354 MB. This makes a total of 4.1 GB used from 7.7 GB available. The most of documentation I use is outside the pendrive, I use it just for work in computers where I haven't installed MikTeX, Arduino and SublimeText, and in those where I can't because I'm not administrator. Some years ago I've used portable apps, I think is pretty good, MikTeX uses the same logic as some LaTeX editors do too. Regards: Aradnix |

Hi, Aradnix, thanks for the additional info. First I will tackle the MikTex and editor problem, then will look for further software. Thanks again for the valuable information.
