chemnum: compounds numbers don't replace TMP at the right position in .eps file (chemdraw)

Question

I'm really new to LaTeX, and even newer to this website, so forgive me in advance for all the mistakes I may have made.

Here's my problem: I'm trying to replace the temporary labels (TMP1,...) in an .eps file (made with chemdraw), in a modus operandi chapter for my master thesis, and it doesn't work the way it should. The TMP labels indeed disappear, but the 1,2 and 3 expected to replace them appear on the left of the figure, not at all where they should be. Moreover, there's also a message saying "frag replacements", appearing on the graph in the dvi file. When I try to export it as pdf, it doesn't even change the labels and I get stuck with TMP1,2,3.

Here is the code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,notitlepage]{book}

        \caption{Schéma réactionnel 1}

\end{scheme}


\end{document}

And it gives the following result :

Could you help me ?

EDIT: here is the .eps file

Answer 1

The results you are seeing come from not compiling the document file correctly. The following workflow will provide a pdf file with the labels replaced

latex file
dvips file -o
pstopdf file.ps

The output is then in file.pdf. Alternatively you can remove the epstopdf package and load the auto-pst-pdf package, with

\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

in your preamble, and then compile simply with

pdflatex -shell-escape file

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,notitlepage]{book}
