It appears to me that you goal is to get a PDF file as I would expect.
Do you know that you can convert from GIF to PNG (and therefore preserve
transparency) and include this figure in the latex file? Use
\includegraphics from the graphics package, and instead of latex run
pdflatex. pdflatex does basically the same thing as latex but the output
is directly in PDF format. Furthermore, pdflatex take image formats such
as PNG and JPG, but not postscript based.

Hope this helps (in something),
