Re: [OT] latex, pdflatex and graphics formats



Hi {pdf,}LaTeX Fans !

There is a package written by Oberdiek which does the job:

`epstopdf'

Read the comments before to use it.

Otherwise,
I guess that this list is not the proper one for pure TeX issue.

I hope that helps,
Jerome

Hi everybody

For my documents, I have to use both LaTeX and pdfLaTeX. The problem I have is, pdflatex does not (at least per default) understand .eps and .ps files. So I have to convert my .eps figures from gnuplot into .png for pdflatex in order to use them. The other way round, "normal" LaTeX does not understand the .png format, so any photos or scanned-in images have to be converted into .ps. My question now is: Are there any \usepackage{s} for making use of .ps in pdflatex and .png in LaTeX? Anything better than
for i in *.eps; do convert $i `echo $i | sed s/.eps/.png/`
?

Thanks
joerg

Yes I know this is a question for the TeX newsgroup. This is why it's marked [OT]...
