1 Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an 'encapsulated'
2 PDF file (a single page file whose media box is the same as the original
3 EPS's bounding box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by PDFTeX
4 as an image. The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on
5 Unix-alike systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript for the actual
6 conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later, and (by
7 default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where most of the
8 text is not horizontal. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf
9 package, which will run the epstopdf script "on the fly", thus giving
10 the illusion that PDFLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.
