May I suggest a screen dump? Crop it of course.

Shamed by Luigi's having revised his tutorial, I'm working on revising the
PMX manual, which hasn't been touched since February 2004. In light of
recent posting to this list, I'd like to know the easiest way to create
graphic versions of email addresses in a LaTeX document. I'm working in
Windows XP; I have MiKTeX, Gsview32, LViewpro, and of course Paint. I tried
and succeeded in making and embedding an eps, but that turns out to retain
the character information.
If you have these eps (for example created with (La)TeX), you can
convert/export it with gsview to a pixel graphics format like .png or
.tif (I would not use .jpg because they have compession artefacts on the
white background). In a next step you can convert them back to eps, for
example with the command line tool bmeps which should come with MikTeX
(so you can at least install it with the MikTeX package manager), with
"convert" of the imagemagick tool (a swiss army knife for image
manipulation via command line), or gimp, which is a wonderful graphics
manipulation program (you can get all of these programs for free). With
these steps you get a .eps bitmap image without any character
information for inclusion in LaTeX.
I've created .jpg and .bmp graphics using Paint
or Lviewpro, then tried to insert them into the LaTeX file with e.g.
\includegraphics{dsimonsemail.bmp}, but LaTeX complains that it doesn't know
the size of the graphic and needs a bounding box.
The problem here ist that "normal" LaTeX can only handle eps images.
However, with pdfLaTeX you can include png or jpg pictures (and of
course pdf files), but here you get problems with (e)ps pictures or
commands, as they are necessary for example for ps-slurs.
There exist several workarounds for using (e)ps with pdfLaTeX, but they
are non-trivial.
Hope this helps,
Simon
How about jpeg2ps? it produces "bitmapped-eps."
note: the filename string seems to be contained into eps. so
the filename should be a meaningless string, such as foobar.eps.
