dvips: Including graphics fails
2.4.6 Including graphics fails
------------------------------
The most common problem with including graphics is an incorrect bounding
box (⇒Bounding box). Complain to whoever wrote the software that
generated the file if the bounding box is indeed incorrect.
Another possible problem is that the figure you are trying to include
does not nest properly; there are certain rules PostScript applications
must follow when generating files to be included. The Dvips program
includes work-arounds for such errors in Adobe Illustrator and other
programs, but there are certainly applications that haven't been tested.
One possible thing to try is the '-K' flag which strips the comments
from an included figure. This might be necessary if the PostScript
spooling software does not read the structured comments correctly. Use
of this flag will break graphics from some applications, though, since
some applications read the PostScript file from the input stream,
looking for a particular comment.
Any application which generates graphics output containing raw binary
(not ASCII hex) will probably fail with Dvips.
