How can I use pdf(la)tex or dvipdfm to generate PDF from a (LA)TEX document that includes graphics in EPS format?
pdf(la)tex and dvipdfm accept graphics in EPDF, PNG and JPEG formats only. Possible solutions: • Convert your EPS graphics to EPDF. This requires Ghostscript and can be done either explicitly or automatically: for pdflatex see below; for dvipdfm there is a configuration option explained in the dvipdfm manual (texmf/doc/dvipdfm/dvipdfm.pdf, section 14). • Use (la)tex, then dvips, then Ghostscript to generate respectively DVI, then PS, then PDF. • Q: How can I convert EPS graphics to EPDF for inclusion in PDF files? A: A conversion program called epstopdf written in either Perl or C is available that uses Ghostscript to convert EPS to EPDF. One or other version should be included as part of a TEX installation but it also requires Ghostscript. The command “epstopdf –help” gives brief help and examples. For example, the command “epstopdf Chap0806.eps” writes the file Chap0806.pdf to the current directory. A number of EPS files can be converted at once using a shell for loop. Alternatively
