PdfLatex, Matlab figure

Hi

I am a new user of Latex and I do have problems inserting my Matlab figures to the latex document.
1-I am saving Matlab figure as PDF and it looks perfect.
2-But when I insert the PDF file to latex document I cant see any text from the graph, no title, no axes numbers...

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Perhaps the issue is to do with the fonts you're using not being found. If so, you should ensure that the fonts are embedded in the pdf before inserting it into the latex document. You can do this by saving the figure with export_fig (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig).

HTH,

I have solved the problem by changing the "custom renderer" to "zbuffer" from matlab export setup.

The impact of this is to change all your figures from vector to bitmap format, so you lose quality when you zoom in.

What is "this"? Export_fig? What is asking you to have 2007a or higher? Please could you attach the message.
