In summary, the individual is having trouble including an image in their LaTeX document. They have tried placing the image in the same folder as the .tex file and using the \usepackage{graphicx} command, but they are still receiving an error message stating that the file cannot be found. They are using MikTex 2.9 and TeXnic Center on Windows and are new to LaTeX. They are open to clarifications and seeking assistance in finding a solution.

I've looked over the other threads, and I can't seem to find a fix for my problem. I've save my jpg into the same folder as the .tex file. I've been using \usepackage{graphicx}. I just can't seem to find a solution. I'm using MikTex 2.9 and TeXnic Center on Windows. My code for the picture is:

\includegraphics{BeggarDigraph.jpg} %file name = BeggarDigraph.jpg

The error/warning is "Package pdftex.def Error: File 'BeggarDigraph.jpg' not found."
I don't really know what this means. I'm relatively new to LateX.

I'll be glad to clarify anything, and if anyone can help me out here, I would greatly appreciate it.

FAQ: Fixing Latex Error: Inserting JPG File Not Found

How do I fix the error "Inserting JPG File Not Found" in LaTeX?

This error occurs when the LaTeX compiler cannot find the specified JPG file. The most common solution is to make sure the file name is spelled correctly and that the file is located in the same directory as the LaTeX document. If the file is in a different directory, you can use the \graphicspath command to specify the file's location.

Can I use other image formats besides JPG in LaTeX?

Yes, LaTeX supports various image formats such as PNG, PDF, and EPS. However, the specific format may require additional packages to be included in the document. It is best to check the documentation for the specific package or class you are using.

Why am I still getting the error after correcting the file name and location?

Sometimes, the error can persist even after fixing the file name and location. This may be due to issues with the image itself, such as incorrect file extension, corrupted file, or unsupported color space. Make sure the image file is in a compatible format and that it is not damaged.

How can I troubleshoot the error "Inserting JPG File Not Found" in LaTeX?

If the above solutions do not work, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Check if the image file is included in the document's source code.
  • Check if the image file is in the correct format and can be opened by other programs.
  • Try using a different image file to see if the error persists.
  • Check if there are any special characters or spaces in the file name or path.
  • Consult the documentation for the specific LaTeX package or class you are using.

How can I prevent this error from occurring in the future?

To avoid this error, it is important to properly manage your image files and keep them in the same directory as your LaTeX document. Make sure to double check the file names and paths before compiling the document. Additionally, you can use relative paths or the \graphicspath command to specify the location of your image files.
