I'm working with ShareLatex and I'm uploading .pdf image, so it takes a long time to compile because it is a large document. I found it is possible to automatic convert .pdf images to .png using:

  \usepackage{graphicx}
  \usepackage{epstopdf}
  \epstopdfDeclareGraphicsRule{.pdf}{png}{.png}{convert #1 \OutputFile}
  \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.pdf}

which will speed up the compiler but it seems that I need to call pdflatex with the --shell-escape option. The question is, how is it done in Sharelatex?

Here is the info of the webpage of ShareLatex

Thanks

    Have you tried running it? I know it states on https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Inserting_Images#!#Generating_high-res_and_low-res_images that you need to run with --shell-escape but you also need this to use the minted package. ShareLaTeX does however have minted support. – Thorbjørn E. K. Christensen Nov 15 '17 at 00:06
  • Yes I had. What outputs it's the document without the image. It doesn't generate the .png image, so I think the compiler just ignore the figure environment – Juan Duarte Nov 15 '17 at 00:54
  • @ThorbjørnE.K.Christensen You were right. For some reason I just ran it again and worked. Thank you anyway for your help :) – Juan Duarte Nov 15 '17 at 02:40
