Hello,
thanks a _lot_
Now I have converted all eps figures into pdf, but I am running yet into another snag... the conversion seems to ruin the bounding box of the eps figures, so that the pdf figures are taking a full a4 site; when I then use them in the main tex file, they are filling a whole page.
Is there a way to define a bounding box in \externalfigure ? I have checked in the wikipage and googled a bit, but since English is not my mother tongue, I may very well have used a bad keyword.
If not, can anybody point me to a way of modifying a pdf file to get rid of all exterior white space around a figure? I can imagine you can do this with adobe software, but I don't have that. Only unix.
there is a pdtopdf script in the distribution (ruby script that needs gs) that can do it that way (by default it uses the boundingbox)
