I use Ubuntu 22.04 and TeX 3.141592653 (TeX Live 2022).

I want to embed this "GIF" file as animation in output PDF file. I followed this post:

  1. $ convert ./Fourier_series_and_transform.gif -coalesce Fourier.png This products 93 PNG files: From Fourier-0.png to Fourier-92.png

  2. Wrote these in Untitled-4.tex:

    \documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[step]{animate}

    \begin{document}
\animategraphics[width=\linewidth]{12}{Fourier-}{0}{92}%
\end{document}

  3. Built the doc: $ latex ./Untitled-4.tex

But I encounter with this error:

! Package animate Error: None of the files
(animate)                `Fourier-0.eps',
(animate)                `Fourier-0.mps' or
(animate)                `Fourier-0.ps'
(animate)                could be found.
(animate)                Wrong file type? Mis-spelled file name?.

How I can solve this problem?

  • Since the engine looks for Postscript files exclusively, you seem to use the wrong command (latex) to typeset the document. PNG inclusion requires pdflatex, lualatex or xelatex. – AlexG Mar 22 '23 at 09:22
  • @AlexG Thank you for your time. I added both controls,loop and try to build the document with xelatex and pdflatex. Now first frame is visible; but I cannot animate it even by clicking. I test that in "Firefox", "Evince" and "Chrome". Can you help me? – hasanghaforian Mar 22 '23 at 09:50
  • On Linux, the only PDF viewer supporting this kind of animations is KDE Okular. You might also want to try SVG output instead of PDF; here, animations are supported across the web browsers that you have mentioned. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/235180 – AlexG Mar 22 '23 at 10:01
