did you ever try the sequence eps2eps and then epstopdf?
Yes, I did the last time when Angus suggested it.. it gave me an error then (not sure if it was eps2eps or epstopdf) but now eps2eps converts to eps and then the epstopdf works... (may be cos I'm trying different figures) ... but the image quality of the pdf is very poor... Angus mentioned that eps2eps converts to bitmap so that's probably the reason...
thanks, nirmal
