I have a problem, that when I use DVIview I get the correct picture but no result with PDFView. Maybe I don't use a necessary package or the problem in the pdf program in my computer! here is an example 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}

\scalebox{1} {%
\begin{pspicture}(0,-2.15)(4.94,2.15)
\psline[linewidth=0.04](1.92,1.63)(3.06,0.15)(4.88,1.31)(0.38,-0.73)(0.86,2.01)(4.92,1.33)(4.86,1.33)
\end{pspicture}}

%\end{center}<-- disabled by mozartstrasse!
\end{document}

I'm using (winshell)

I need your help :)

    A bit more of a description would be helpful: are you compiling the document to .dvi with latex, then to postscript (which works), but then when you convert to pdf it doesn't work ? – ach Jun 22 '13 at 18:35
  • sorry i'm not familiar with Latex, but the thing that I am using Winshell, and there are choices to compile, dvi and pdf. i need my last work to be on pdf. maybe i can save work as .dvi and then convert it to pdf .. but i dont know how! – Danial Jun 22 '13 at 18:42
  • How do you make your picture ? What kind of file is it ? What program are you using to make it (TeXmaker, Texlipse, emacs ...) ? – ach Jun 22 '13 at 18:43
  • @ach Winshell (i added more information in my last comment) – Danial Jun 22 '13 at 19:01
  • As a rule of thumb, all PSTricks code is to be compiled to DVI then converted to PS (dvips) then converted to PDF (pdf2ps). Alternatively you can try compiling with xelatex. – marczellm Jun 22 '13 at 19:10
  • I get the same output with latex+dvips+ps2pdf or xelatex. It may be a viewer problem. – egreg Jun 22 '13 at 19:45
  • This boils down to needing to use PSTricks with pdfLaTeX, which we have a general question about. I've duped. – Joseph Wright Aug 20 '13 at 06:07
