Problems Encountered While Using LaTeX

Posted on Edited on Disqus:

I used LaTeX to write my graduation thesis and encountered many problems. I summarize them here.

PDF Cannot Display Correctly

Problem Description

A document successfully compiled with XeLaTeX could not correctly display PDF images; it showed a blank area instead.

Cause

The PDF file version was the problem. Its version was 1.7, while XeLaTeX compiles as 1.5 by default.

Solution

For xelatex %.tex, add --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -V7". That is, modify msmake.bat:

1
2
3
xelatex %mythesis%
# =>
xelatex --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -V7" %mythesis%
