e2pall - convert all EPS files in a LaTeX document to PDF

e2pall TEXFILE

e2pall searches through TEXFILE for \includegraphics commands to find the base names of image files. When it finds one, e2pall runs epstopdf(1) to create a PDF file from the EPS file.

e2pall will check to be sure that an existing PDF file is up-to-date with the EPS file, and will not run epstopdf(1) if the PDF file is newer than the EPS file.

Seems to be broken

Cannot handle \input{filename} or \includegraphics{filename} split over more than one line

Must be run from same directory as the LaTeX file

Does not look down $TEXINPUTS

Cannot handle documents that use \include commands

Assumes all files included with \includegraphics are EPS files

epstopdf(1)
