[Tex/LaTex] File Not Found – Problem With \includegraphics

graphicsmiktex

I'm having a great deal of difficulty adding figures into a LaTeX template I downloaded. I downloaded and unzipped the template folder to a new folder, and am attemping to integrate a picture called "n1" that is contained in this folder. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but problems and have received file not found innumerable times.

I am using MikTeX 2.9, and I updated the file name database and added the file n1 to all of the folders specific under Setting-Roots. I am able to incorporate the file into other latex documents that I have created myself, but, for a reason I cannot determine, I can't add files to this template that I downloaded.

I am using pdfLaTeX.

Every attempt yields the following: 

\includegraphics{n1} LaTeX Error: File `n1' not found.

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

l.81 \includegraphics{n1}

?

The exact path of n1 is:

C:\Users\George\Documents\Thesis\psu-thesis\n1.png

The location of the TeX document is:

C:\Users\George\Documents\Thesis\psu-thesis\sample.tex

IF I state in the pre amble:

\graphicspath{{C:/Users/George/Documents/Thesis/psu-thesis/}}

I still receive the above error.
I have attempted every solution that was suggested in past threads, and nothing has worked. Refreshing the FNDB was unsuccessful. Adding an absolute path was also unsuccessful. I greatly hope that the brilliant minds here will be able to think of a solution!

Best Answer

Your template passes the option dvips to graphicx. But as you are using pdflatex (and not latex + dvips), you are lying to latex and so it doesn't look for the correct graphic type. Remove the option and hope that your template doesn't do more such silly things.
