Have a question about eps figures in pdflatex,
I want to produce pdf files from the tex files, with pdflatex
(as it should be the best....?)
HOWEVER, the conversion of the epstopdf & and the inclusion this
converted file in the exported tex-code is not working for me with
pdflatex.
I face the following problem:
I generate eps files with gnuplot (3.7.1) & convert them to pdf.
(Tried to convert the eps files with both epstopdf and ps2pdf)
The epstopdf-converted files looks just great with acrobat reader.
NOW TO THE PROBLEM:
pdflatex complains about missing BoundingBox
However, when I run epstopdf in debug mode it is pretty clear that there
should be an existing bounding box.
Anybody with experience on this with? and a quickfix? (=any magic latex
command, to force the right BoundingBox?)
Best,
Staffan
P.S. I've added \usepackage[pdflatex]{graphicx} to the LaTeX preamble as
one should.
The command pdflatex filename.tex gives the following warnings:
! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in includefile.pdf (no
BoundingBox).
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

l.917 ...tering \includegraphics{includefile.pdf}
\par}
?
<includefile.pdf> [41
Non-PDF special ignored!
---------------
The result is that the pdf file has blank space where the figure should
be placed.
Comment I get the same pdflatex warnings when I include png-figures

epstopdf --debug includefile.eps
gives the following message:
epstopdf --debug includefile.eps
