Hi,

well, you cannot embed EPS in PDF. (Somehow I have in mind that there actually 
is something like embedding postscript in PDF, which will not be rendered by a 
PDF renderer, but could be printed on Postscript printers, but I'm missing the 
details right now.)

What PyX really does for this case is to convert the EPS to a bitmap and put 
this bitmap in the PDF output. I added this years ago, as it was handy for me 
at some point in time. But it generates a warning and is by no means a proper 
embedding. (On the other side, yes, this is a way to go to somehow get other 
data embedded. Embed it as bitmap data. We can do so for Postscript, PDF and 
SVG, we support bitmap data for all those output formats.)

Still, our true goal is to be able embed PDF in PDF like we can embed 
Postscript in Postscript and SVG in SVG. (And for SVG we also have a parsed 
mode, which actually recreates the graphic data within PyX, with rather serious 
limitations though, but still quite useful in some cases.)

Right now we cannot embed PDF in PDF.

Best,


André
