I have the following .tex file:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{psfrag}
\psfrag{Final Epidemic Size}[][][]{Final Epidemic Size}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{../BookTemplate/intro/final_size_inset.eps}
\end{document}
I'm running this on a mac, with latex and then dvips. When I try to open the .ps file with preview I get the message:
"The PostScript file “fig1_5.ps” could not be converted to a PDF file."
I don't get that message when I modify other text in the image. Here are the (possibly) relevant lines in the .eps file I'm modifying:
/Helvetica 30 F
GS
[1 0 0 1 0 0] CT
-132 24 moveto
1 -1 scale
(Final Epidemic Size) t
GR
GR
GS
The only thing I see fundamentally different compared to other strings I have successfully modified is there are spaces in the string. Could this be the cause or is there something else?
latex filename
thendvips filename
. I'm not sure exactly when I installed these. This is in Mac OS X. – Joel Apr 24 '16 at 5:58
