I want to include a .pdf, .svg or .eps image which I exported from LibreOffice Draw with \includegraphics and compile it with latex (cannot use pdflatex).

The latex compile error message I get is

Error: /rangecheck in --setmiterlimit--

How can one produce a .pdf, .eps or .svg from .odg that latex accepts?

Edit: So my workaround is now that I convert the .pdf exported from LibreOffice to .ps which can be compiled smoothly with latex.

  • You can select export from LO menu. – gigiair Feb 27 '20 at 10:42
  • This is what I did - but it apparently produces a corrupted file. – AKG Feb 27 '20 at 10:45
  • What exactly is the reason that you cannot use 'pdflatex'? Do you encounter any problems when you try to switch? Maybe those problems are easier to solve than your current issue with the file formats. In any case, you can also try to convert the files externally (there are several terminal-based tools/solutions for different use cases) to a format that latex accepts. If you find something that works then you can also make a custom \includegraphics rule to automate the conversion. – Marijn Feb 27 '20 at 16:23
  • I need to use the template of my institute which uses the package PSTricks and thus can be only compiled with latex - neither .pdf, .eps nor .svg exported from LibreOffice ever posed a problem whenever I created documents without this package and compile with pdflatex. – AKG Feb 29 '20 at 19:18

Compile with xelatex instead of latex.
