Karl Berry submitted an update to the epstopdf package. Version: 2.33 2023-09-15 License: other-free Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript Announcement text:

epstopdf 2.33 fixes an error failing to recognize PATH elements on Cygwin (separator is : on Cygwin, not 😉. Thanks to Alois Steindl. General description: epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an encapsulated PDF file (a single-page self-contained file whose media box is the same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file is suitable for inclusion as an image. The script runs on both Windows and Unix-ish systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript (overridable) for the actual conversion to PDF. By default, it suppresses Ghostscript's automatic rotation of pages. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the (restricted form of the) epstopdf script on the fly, thus giving the illusion that pdfLaTeX, etc. is accepting EPS graphic files. Please email bug reports to tex-k at tug.org.

epstopdf – Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript

Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an ‘encapsulated’ PDF file (a single page file whose media box is the same as the original EPS’s bounding box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by pdfTeX as an image. The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on Unix-alike systems.

The script makes use of Ghostscript for the actual conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later, and (by default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where most of the text is not horizontal.

LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the epstopdf script “on the fly”, thus giving the illusion that pdfLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.
