Dimension too large

[stoph86]

I am using TeX2img as part of a PowerPoint add-in (IguanaTex by Jonathan-LeRoux) to perform vector graphics.

Unfortunately using TeX2img produces pdfs without content which have the dimensions 5.080x5.080 mm. I copied a part of the output in the following.

Do you have any recommendations w.r.t this issue?

Best regards, Christoph

What is your LaTeX code which reproduces the problem?

[stoph86]

Just using any letter, e.g.

abc

As a preamble I use either pdflatex or LaTeX + dvips.

[aminophen]

I can't reproduce the problem with

%latex: pdflatex
\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
abc
\end{document}

Which version of Ghostscript are you using? And, what is the output format? (emf? pdf? or others?)

Also, please provide the information about TeX2img settings. (Tools -> Options) Maybe screenshots of the settings window are useful.

[stoph86]

Ghostscript 9.20 64-bit I tried several formats. They lead all to the same problem "Dimensions too large". pdf is the only format I can open - probably due to the huge dimensions.

I am using the default settings. I tried some changes without effect. Attached you find screenshots of the settings:

[aminophen]

Cannot reproduce at all, using the same settings and gs9.20 64bit on my computer. The only one difference from your environment seems TeX Live on my side, instead of MiKTeX.

[stoph86]

Yes, the error "Dimensions too large" appears inside MiKTeX. I updated the packages in MikTeX but without effect. But compiling the same LaTeX-Code inside TeXnicCenter MiKTeX is working.

Do you have a suggestion to make MiKTeX working together with TeX2img?

[abenori]

Can you show me the full log which is shown in the output window?

[aminophen]

And, please provide the whole "effective" LaTeX source (from \documentclass to \end{document}). If you don't understand, the screenshot with TeX2img preamble window + main window would be fine)

[stoph86]

preamble window: %latex: pdflatex \documentclass[fleqn]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{xcolor} \pagestyle{empty}

main window: abc

So alltogether it should be the same code you posted above including \begin and \end{document}

[abenori]

Thanks. The number "-149003995bp" maybe comes from "149.003995" in the output of Ghostscript. But as far as I run TeX2img with my computer, we didn't get such problem. I need to get more information. Can you do the following?

1. Make a directory to store the test files (which will be denoted by DIR in the following) and make the following source file.

   \documentclass[fleqn]{article}
   \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
   \usepackage{xcolor}
   \pagestyle{empty}
   \begin{document}
   abc
   \end{document}

2. Run TeX2img and change settings as follows

   • After compiling - Delete temporary files after compiling (Recommended) : OFF
   • Directory: Work in the same foloder as the input file

3. Select the file in 1 for the Input TeX source file and run "Generate".

4. In DIR, there should be some tex file which is started with \pdfoutput=1\relax Please show me the whole contents of this file.

[abenori]

Please try the following TeX2img: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnAe-sROy6tPgbEHpWSunjYaLbc07Q

[stoph86]

Now it works for all formats except .emf (produces just some pixels) and .eps (only a white page). In my case this doesn´t matter as it works perfecty fine as part of a PowerPoint add-in (IguanaTex by Jonathan-LeRoux) producing vector grafics.

Thank you very much!

[abenori]

Could you try https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnAe-sROy6tPgbEHpWSunjYaLbc07Q again? I hope emf and eps are also fine.

The point was that my system language (Japanese) is different from yours and it changes the rule of the conversion from number to string etc. Now TeX2img use the English style for the conversion.

[stoph86]

Unfortunately .emf still doesn´t work. But .eps works now!

[abenori]

Can you show me the full log again? And what is your language?

Isn't there a emf file?

emf file.zip

[abenori]

The .emf file looks fine. I guess the reason why you thought it failed is that it's too small. Please see it with Inkscape, for example.

[stoph86]

I am really sorry having generated this unnecessary extra work for you. But watching this emf in Paint it looks awful. Thx for your help again.

[abenori]

Not a problem, thanks a lot. I'll release a new version as soon as possible.
