Old versions of PDFTeX (prior to version 1.10a) -supported TIFF (<code>.tif</code> files) format as an alternative -to PNG files; don’t rely on this facility, even if you -<em>are</em> running an old enough version of PDFTeX... -<p/>In addition to the ‘native’ formats, the standard PDFLaTeX -<i>graphics</i> package setup causes Hans Hagen’s <i>supp-pdf</i> -macros to be loaded: these macros are capable of translating the -output of MetaPost to PDF “on the fly”; thus MetaPost output -(<code>.mps</code> files) may also be included in PDFLaTeX documents. -<p/>The commonest problem users encounter, when switching from TeX, is -that there is no straightforward way to include EPS files: -since PDFTeX is its own “driver”, and since it contains no means -of converting PostScript to PDF, there’s no direct way the job can -be done. -<p/>The simple solution is to convert the EPS to an appropriate -PDF file. The <i>epstopdf</i> program will do this: it’s -available either as a Windows executable or as a <i>Perl</i> -script to run on Unix and other similar systems. A LaTeX package, -<i>epstopdf</i>, can be used to generate the requisite PDF -files “on the fly”; this is convenient, but requires that you -suppress one of TeX’s security checks: don’t allow its use in files -from sources you don’t entirely trust. -<p/>A similar package, <i>pst-pdf</i>, permits other things than ‘mere’ -graphics files in its argument. <i>Pst-pdf</i> operates (the -authors suggest) “like BibTeX” — you process your file using -PDFLaTeX, then use LaTeX, <i>dvips</i> and <i>ps2pdf</i> -in succession, to produce a secondary file to input to your next -PDFLaTeX run. (Scripts are provided to ease the production of the -secondary file.) -<p/>An alternative solution is to use <i>purifyeps</i>, a -<i>Perl</i> script which uses the good offices of -<i>pstoedit</i> and of MetaPost to convert your Encapsulated PostScript to -“Encapsulated PostScript that comes out of MetaPost”, and can therefore be -included directly. Sadly, <i>purifyeps</i> doesn’t work for all -<code>.eps</code> files. -<p/>Good coverage of the problem is to be found in Herbert Voss’ -<a href="http://pstricks.tug.org/main.cgi?file=pdf/pdfoutput">PDF support page</a>, -which is targeted at the use of <i>pstricks</i> in -PDFLaTeX, and also covers the <i>pstricks</i>-specific package -<i>pdftricks</i>. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>epstopdf</i></tt><dd>Browse <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/epstopdf/">support/epstopdf/</a> -<dt><tt><i>epstopdf.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed with Heiko Oberdiek’s packages - <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.zip">macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>pdftricks.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdftricks.zip">macros/latex/contrib/pdftricks</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdftricks.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdftricks/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>pst-pdf.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pst-pdf.zip">macros/latex/contrib/pst-pdf</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pst-pdf.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pst-pdf/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>pstoedit</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/pstoedit.zip">support/pstoedit</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/pstoedit.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/pstoedit/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>purifyeps</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps.zip">support/purifyeps</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/purifyeps/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdftexgraphics">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdftexgraphics</a> -</body> |
