Convert all eps files in a latex document to pdf

Usage

e2pall TEXFILE

Overview

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.
