Hi folks,

I would like to include a figure which is in PDF format as my Epigraph
page in the template. The Epigraph is supposed to be placed in page IV
but what happens is that once I include the PDF using \begin{figure},
Latex places it right before the main body of the thesis in page 1. Is
there anyway to get around this dynamic placement of figure to force
Latex to put the Epigraph page in the right place (i.e., page IV)?

Thanks,
--Hamid

Hamid,

Here are a couple things to try, I am not sure if they will work.

Use \begin{figure}[h!]

Or

\usepackage{float}
then
\begin{figure}[H]


Also be sure to use the \begin{myepigraph} environment instead of
\begin{epigraph}.

Novi

%% EPIGRAPH
%
% The same choices that applied to the dedication apply here.
%
%\begin{epigraph} % The style file will position the text for you.
% \emph{A careful quotation\\
% conveys brilliance.}\\
% ---Smarty Pants
%\end{epigraph}

\begin{myepigraph} % You position the text yourself.
\vfil
\begin{center}
{\bf Think! It ain't illegal yet.}

\emph{---George Clinton}
\end{center}
\end{myepigraph}
