CTAN update: epstopdf

Karl Berry submitted an update to the

epstopdf

package.

Version number: 2.34 2024-04-29
License type: other-free

Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript

Announcement text:
--


epstopdf 2.34 tries to support Msys, Cygwin, and native Windows appropriately, 
also detecting the TeX Live-provided gs for Windows. Thanks to John Collins for 
the patch, and Pablo Gonzalez and Ken Brown for testing.

Also, more debugging output is written if the first argument is exactly --debug.

General description: epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an 
encapsulated PDF file (a single-page self-contained file whose media box is the 
same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file is suitable for 
inclusion as an image. The script runs on both Windows and Unix-ish systems.

The script makes use of Ghostscript (overridable) for the actual conversion to 
PDF. By default, it suppresses Ghostscript's automatic rotation of pages.

LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package 
(https://ctan.org/pkg/epstopdf-pkg), which will run the (restricted form of 
the) 
epstopdf script on the fly, thus giving the illusion that pdfLaTeX, etc. is 
accepting EPS graphic files.

Please email bug reports to te...@tug.org.
See https://tug.org/epstopdf/ and https://tug.org/pkg/epstopdf/ for more.

 epstopdf 2.32 corrects the path for the Ghostscript that TeX Live
 provides on Windows, and gives a better error message if either
 kpsewhich or gs is not found in the current PATH.

CTAN update: epstopdf-pkg

2019-11-29 Thread CTAN Announcements
Oberdiek Package Support Group  submitted an update to the

epstopdf-pkg

package.

Version number: 2.8 2019-11-27
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Call epstopdf "on the fly"

Announcement text:
--

epstopdf v2.8 2019/11/27 


epstopdf-base package is called by the core graphics package in pdftex
and luatex to automate conversion of EPS files to PDF before being
included into the document.

The full package (which may be called directly) has many options which
are not used by the core processing, and handling the options caused
many packages to be loaded.

Previously

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

loaded the packages

infwarerr, grfext, kvdefinekeys, ltxcmds, kvoptions, keyval,
kvsetkeys, etexcmds, ifluatex, iftex, pdftexcmds

The new release avoids loading packages when epstopdf-base is loaded
without options and so none of the above list will be included
allowing the core graphics package to only rely on this epstopdf
bundle, and also the Lua portion of pdftexcmds when used with LuaTeX.
All these packages are still loaded by \usepackage{epstopdf} for
compatibility.

Karl Berry submitted an update to the

epstopdf

package.

Version number: 2.28
License type: other-free

Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript

Announcement text:
--

epstopdf 2.28 changes to output PDF version 1.5 by default. Before, it
output whatever version the underlying Ghostscript or other interpreter
had as default. In Ghostscript 9,25, that changed to 1.7, which would
cause many warnings in the TeX world.

To override the PDF version, use epstopdf
--gsopt=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.7 (for example).

Version:  2.24  2016-05-28

Summary description:  Convert EPS to ‘encapsulated’ PDF using Ghostscript

Announcement text:
--

 epstopdf is a Perl script that converts EPS to PDF (or other formats)
 using (by default) Ghostscript.

 Changes in this version:

 New option --gray to grayscale output, thanks to William Bader; it
   passes -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray
   to Ghostscript.

 The option --device is disallowed in restricted mode (previously some
   devices were allowed); it is still accepted (with any value) in
   non-restricted mode.
