I use the following environment to write my diploma thesis:
- Miktex 2.4.1705
- TeXnicCenter version 1 Beta 6.31
- Ghostscript 8.53
I had huge problems with image quality when I used to create a PDF with the pictures in JPG format.
The solution is (after intensive searching the WWW and many tries):
- convert your pictures in the EPS format
- use the way over ps creation (in TeXnicCenter use the profil LaTeX => PS => PDF) and the images look really beautiful in high quality.
P.S.: To import images in Latex use:
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics{digitalTV}
\caption{Digital transmission setup}
\label{digitalTV}
\end{figure}
In the header you have to include the following line to make the code work:
\usepackage{graphicx}
In the brackets behind includegraphics must be the path to your image with the file-ending relatively to your LaTeX-File.
Caption is for the legend under the picture (with automatic numeration).
Label if you want to use a reference to the image in the text.
