Create DVI2PDF Profile in TeXnicCenter

  • Thread starter EngWiPy
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses using the TeXnixCenter editor to type Latex codes and encountering issues when including graphs from MATLAB. The solution is to create a dvi=>pdf profile manually and to use the LaTeX => PDF profile for saving Matlab figures as PDFs. Additionally, running the PDFs through a tool like pdfcrop can help reduce excessive whitespace added by MATLAB.

Hello,

I am using TeXnixCenter editor to type Latex codes. But, when I enter some graphs in the code, from MATLAB for instance, the editor fail to buil the PDF file. It must be converted from DVI to PDF. But this profile is not exist in the options in my editor, so I have to create it manually. The question is: how can I create the dvi=>pdf profile?

Regards

I just use the LaTeX => PDF profile and save the Matlab figure as a pdf.

Also, I run all MATLAB pdfs through http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pdfcrop.html to trim the huge amount of whitespace MATLAB adds for some reason.
