How can I set the 'final' option for the graphicx package in XeTeX?

Question

I'm using XeTeX and wondering how to set the final option of the graphicx package.

I started my document with pdfTeX and the following lines:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, twoside, headsepline, draft]{scrreprt}

...

\usepackage[final]{graphicx}

Then I migrated to XeTeX and got an option clash for the graphicx package. Having removed the graphicx declaration the clash vanished but so did the graphics. Doing some research I came across this and tried to change it from draft to final but unfortunately without success.

Answer 1

It is not completely clear what your problem is. The scrreprt class does not load the graphicx package so

\documentclass[draft]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[final]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{mill.png}
\end{document}

should work without problems. It is likely that you are loading another package that loads the graphicx package. For example, you get an option clash error with

\documentclass[draft]{beamer}
\usepackage[final]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{mill.png}
\end{document}

because beamer loads graphicx and gives it the draft option. One way to get around this problem is

\documentclass[draft]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\makeatletter
\Gin@draftfalse
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{mill.png}
\end{document}

which sets the draft flag to false for graphicx.
