Tired of converting eps files to pdf by command line utilities? I had made a nice little bash script (essentially a for-loop) to convert mine. As I’m using pdflatex to compile my documents, eps is not supported.

Finally, I discovered the latex package epstopdf, which does the conversion painlessly when compiling. It even checks if an eps-file has been changed, saving compile time.

If it isn’t already in your LaTeX distribution, download it here. It does require that the eps-to-pdf converter is installed on your system. If you haven’t got a distribution, try for example Miktex if you’re using Windows
