[Tex/LaTex] Converted xxx-eps-converted-to.pdf not found

epstopdftexstudio

I'm using TeXStudio on Mac OS X 10.7.4.

The problem is that the EPS to PDF conversion is somehow broken:

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{img/}}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
...
\begin{figure}[!t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{TCP_VC_TD_AVE_CONNS_ACT}
\caption{Simulation Results}
\label{fig_sim}
\end{figure}
...

I've got an EPS file in: img/TCP_VC_TD_AVE_CONNS_ACT.eps

Log:

to.pdf>.

! Package pdftex.def Error: File `img/TCP_VC_TD_AVE_CONNS_ACT-eps-converted-to.
pdf' not found.

The required img/TCP_VC_TD_AVE_CONNS_ACT-eps-converted-to.pdf file is never created.

TeXStudio compiles with (I've added -shell-escape, from other posts):

/usr/texbin/pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex

Can anybody assist?

EDIT – A minimal file breaks as well:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{img/TCP_VC_TD_AVE_CONNS_ACT.eps}
\end{document}

Best Answer

epstopdf is sometimes trying to write in the wrong directory and then fails to create the file (on certain editors at least, I had a similar problem with WinEDT). Place the following code in the header:

\epstopdfsetup{outdir=./}

Or add it as an option to epstopdf:

\usepackage[outdir=./]{epstopdf}
