[Tex/LaTex] Nanoletters submission problem – pdf figures

pdftiff

I'm trying to submit a paper to Nano Letters. However, the site states it only accepts figures in pdf or tiff format instead of my usual eps format. So I tried replacing the figures with their pdf counterpart, but it does not work. It simply states that the figure is missing. Can't give you much of an error list, as it is part of the online incorporated submission system.

How to incorporate figures in pdf format?

Any other physicist encountered this problem with the ACS site?

...
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
...

and then run the document with pdflatex -shell-escape <file> and all eps images will be converted to pdf and saved in a file <file>-pics.pdf with one page per image.

[Tex/LaTex] PDF version issue when including PDF figures

Try this in your preamble for pdftex:

\pdfminorversion=4

for XeTeX edit the configuration file dvipdfmx.cfg which can be found for TeXLive in /texmf/dvipdfmx/ and replace the first line with

V 4

It also maybe the other way round, then change it from 4 to 5

You can try

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

    \input{Colors.pdf_tex}

\end{document}

EDIT:

To address the problem with objects outside the pdf, you could define the size of the resulting pdf. But I am afraid, the numbers have to be adjusted for each figure.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

    \parbox[c][30cm][c]{30cm}{
        \hspace*{1cm}
        \input{Colors.pdf_tex}
    }

\end{document}

SECOND EDIT:

In fact standalone itself is capable of adding desired margins. This can be done with

border={left right bottom top}

\documentclass[border={1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm}]{standalone}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

    \input{Colors.pdf_tex}

\end{document}
