Hi Jose,

Maybe this helps.
Try opening the EPS file with TeXShop. It should automatically create the PDF that you 
need.

Hi,

I want to include an EPS file generated by Grapher.app in a LateX

dvipdfm on the file

The document includes other EPS files without problem.

I tried converting this file to PDF -- either exporting from Grapher
as PDF or using epstopdf -- and I get another kind of error (this one
happens with any EPS file AFAIK):

! LaTeX Error: File `Figs/prob.bb' not found.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

I realise that the problem is that it's not finding the bounding box
information in the PDF file.  I have never seen a .bb file before, so
I'm not sure how to create it.

Many thanks in advance, José
