If you mean pdfTex yes that's what I am using for typesetting...

Coming from the unix environment, all my latex documents used to have  
eps
figures... I have moved to png and pdf now but I guess I haven't  
removed the calls to epsfig because here and there I have some EPS  
stuff around... Could this cause a problem?

Sorry I don't understand... What you say works because I guess I have  
an EPS version of almost every figure along with a PDF and/or a PNG  
version. But it crashes for a figure where I only have a png  
version... What I'm trying to do here is using exactly the same  
typesetting in my engine that when I use the automatic latex  
typesetting with pdftex using the TexShop interface. Is that  
possible? If so how can I do this?

Thanks a lot for your quick answer !
