Thanks for the tip. In fact I didn't realize that I could use the '..
image' command to include a PDF for Latex output (EPS doesn't work but
this is LaTeX related). That itself makes Sphinx even more powerful
because I can now do things à la LyX for including spreadsheets and
diagrams.

Coming back to your suggestion, I applied both modifications to both
Makefile. I see the conversion happening and a new PNG files being
generated. However when opening the HTML the PNG doesn't show up and I
see the text "_images/pos_market.pdf" instead of the picture. Please
note that in _build\html\_images there is no PNG, just the original
PDF file.

Thanks
Alphazo
