Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: eps with openjade

[Ian Castle <ian dot castle at openjade dot org>]

pdfjadetex (and pdftex) wants EPDF format.

jadetex wants EPS format.

It is a bit tricky to come up with a set up that allows supports both without 
explicitly hardcoding one format over another into the stylesheets.

What I do is to use pdfjadetex and EPDF images exclusively - then  convert 
from PDF to PS.

The Makefile and releasenotes.xml, releasenotes.dsl and jadetex.cfg files 
included with the openjade 1.3.1 give an example of how this works.

You can use ImageMagick's convert (if using UNIX/Linux) to convert between EPS 
and EPDF.

convert fig.eps fig.epdf
mv fig.epdf fig.pdf

(pdfjadetex wants the files to be called .pdf even though they are really 
epdf).

Regards,

Ian.
