Re: LaTeX - some logos print, others don't.

Ok! Stand back! I found it everybody!

It works - in 1.2.17 - if you use a .png logo.
Whilst preparing my late payment reminder letter today I came across this problem again, wanting to add a signature at the bottom of the letter, but also this time I found that LedgerSMB creates files in / tmp including the output of the LaTeX conversion process. 

It said:

  ! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

  See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
  Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
   ...

   l.120 ...l/ledgersmb/templates/stroller/signature.eps}

(the above ellipses are literal)
The same file converted perfectly in my homedir, but some Googling suggests that eps is non-native to LaTeX and that some preprocessing is performed. Presumably this LedgerSMB takes care of the preprocessing for logo.eps and this is why alternate-filename.eps fails. 

So:
\includegraphics[height=2cm]{/usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/ stroller/signature}
Delete /usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/stroller/signature.eps and replace with a PNG called signature.png 

Stroller.

Yes, this DOESN'T work (see below).

The preferred fix for the user templates is to do as follows:

Instead of:

\includegraphics[height=1cm]{logo-colour}

use:
\includegraphics[height=1cm]{/path/to/logo-colour}

I.e. use the absolute path.

So a user template wanting to include other graphics b0rks out. As I
described in my previous reply to Chris' below comments <http://
tinyurl.com/2mjfqo>, full path names to additional graphics don't
_seem_ to work for me.

IE:
  # sudo grep logo /usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/stroller/
invoice.tex
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{logo}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{/usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/
stroller/logo-outline}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{/usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/
stroller/logo-outline.png}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{/usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/
stroller/logo-outline.eps}

_still_ only prints out the file called "logo".
