You may try tex2pdf, which does the conversion of eps to pdf for you, retains the original jpg, png and pdf graphics if present, inserts the hyperref stuff (configurable), manages bibtex, gloss, etc. The native ps stuff (psfrag, pstricks) has not full support yet, but this is rather used for viewgraph classes (intelligent arrows, see e.g. the prosper class) than for classical typography. The home page is here: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tex2pdf/ The last stable is a bit old, the last cvs should be OK: http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tex2pdf/bin/tex2pdf -- Jean-Pierre
