I use pdflatex in order to use microtype. However, I have to import pdf figures and not eps.
The problem is that the scale option seems to be ignored because in the pdf file I see the figure in the original size.
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,showtrim,openright,titlepage]{memoir}
\usepackage{footnote}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% MICROTYPE
\usepackage[tracking=true,letterspace=-10]{microtype}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\DeclareMicrotypeAlias{lmss}{cmr}
\DisableLigatures{encoding = T1, family = tt*}
\SetTracking{shape = sc}{10}
\SetTracking{encoding = *}{100}
\usepackage{hyphenat}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure*}[th]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.20]{foto/Mad1.pdf}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\end{figure*}
\end{document}
[EDIT]
I tried all suggestions, also that in the accepted answer, but I confirm that it does not work. Moreover, the scale option is creepy: the image position is strange and difficult to understand why.
Best Answer
If an EPS file is converted with
ps2pdf
, the result is usually a PDF file with a full page, because EPS files are not allowed to change the media size. Therefore it is better to use option-dEPSCrop
:Then ghostscript will look at a comment
%%BoundingBox
to set the media size. Alternatively,epstopdf
can be used that does a similar job and calls ghostscript:If the bounding box is not correctly recorded by the comment and white margins are left, then they can be removed with
pdfcrop
:The result is
Mad1-crop.pdf
.At LaTeX level, you can check for white margins by putting the image inside
\fbox
:
