[Tex/LaTex] epstopdf conversion problem

epstopdftexstudio

I'm trying to compile a LaTeX document with eps image files in TexStudio and I'm getting the error that ... eps to pdf file not found. I tried to put the command \epstopdfsetup{outdir=./} into my LaTeX preamble, but it is not working.

The epstopdfconversion package needs pdflatex to be called with the option -shell-escape. You should try to edit your settings (the PdfLatex tab in the configuration window) and add the following option. It should look like

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex

Hopefully it will work properly with this. However, I think you won't get this problem if you simply use the epstopdf package instead.

To compile the example without errors use:

pdflatex --shell-escape test.tex

With the beginning of TeXLive 2010 pdflatex automatically converts eps file to pdf. Karl Berry wrote a TUGboat article about this new feature. You should update your distribution.

[Tex/LaTex] epstopdf suddenly stopped working

I had the same issue and it seems that it is due to some path problem. The solution is to add

\epstopdfsetup{outdir=./}

to the LaTeX header. This will cause epstopdf to generate files in the specified .aux directory instead of the directory of the images (which it does if you would have run texify from the command line).
