Wed 20 Mar 2019 03:15:06 PM UTC, comment #2: I dropped the filename extension and fixed a small problem in the example code. I checked the changes in here (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/86f439ba2d47). Marking bug as fixed and closing report.	Rik <rik5>
Mon 18 Mar 2019 03:56:47 PM UTC, comment #1: Because the printing device is specified with the "-d" option, the first argument is just a filename and the extension is not used to infer the device. I think it might be clearer to leave off the extensions altogether, and just write print (hf, "plot15_7", "-dpdflatexstandalone"); which will produce two files plot15_7-inc.pdf plot15_7.tex	Rik <rik5>
Mon 18 Mar 2019 11:12:07 AM UTC, original submission: In the manual section 15.2.9 https://octave.org/doc/v5.1.0/Printing-and-Saving-Plots.html it currently says: print (hf, "plot15_7.pdf", "-dpdflatexstandalone"); It should have said: print (hf, "plot15_7.tex", "-dpdflatexstandalone");	Anonymous
