Dear all, as found in the Debian bug tracking system the --outfile options stops working as soon as the --filter option is used. The following command is expected to create the file a.pdf, but the pdf is written to stdout: epstopdf --filter --outfile=a.pdf < a.ps The problem is still in the latest epstopdf from CTAN. Please have a look at this. Many Thanks, Hilmar -- http://www.hilmar-preusse.de.vu/
