Hi, I've been working on a report and here is the relevant org file section (edited for brevity and sanitization): ####### org file ######## * Main header ** Sub section *** Experiment 1 - an unordered list of several points |a|table| |with|data| **** Notes for experiment 1 blah blah blah To illustrate the notes, here's a picture: #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=12cm #+CAPTION: View of something [[~/Desktop/Pic1.pdf]] When I change something, here's a picture of what happens: #+CAPTION: View of something else #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=12cm [[~/Desktop/Pic2.pdf]] Some further comments on this. *** Experiment 2 - An unordered list of several points |a|table| |with|data| **** Notes for experiment 2 - An unordered list of several points *** Experiment 3 ####### org file ########## Now, here's the order in the exported pdf: ####### latex export order ####### * Main header ** Sub section *** Experiment 1 - an unordered list of several points |a|table| |with|data| **** Notes for experiment 1 blah blah blah To illustrate the notes, here's a picture: *PICTURE 1 SHOULD BE HERE* When I change something, here's a picture of what happens: *PICTURE 2 SHOULD BE HERE* Some further comments on this. *PICTURE 1 IS ACTUALLY HERE* *** Experiment 2 - An unordered list of several points |a|table| |with|data| **** Notes for experiment 2 - An unordered list of several points *PICTURE 2 IS ACTUALLY HERE* *** Experiment 3 ########### latex order ############## I've inspected the generated .tex file and this shows up where expected in both picture instances: \begin{figure}[htb] \centering \includegraphics[width=12cm]{/home/jwhendy/Desktop/file[1/2].pdf} \caption{text here} \end{figure} I have generated a pdf from the .tex file and the same happens -- I can't figure out why it's sticking them in places where they are not called for.
