Simply remove the .pdf extension from the filename:

\includegraphics[scale=1]{file}

This will fix the problem ...

      ... because that information will now be read from
   270B_09-1_Exam_II_01.eps   if it exists.

If it doesn't exist, then adjust your workflow
to make sure that it does.


Alternatively, lern how to use the  pdftricks  package,
for graphics that need to use  PSTricks .

It works exceptionally well, once you have sorted out
all the intricacies particular to your workflow.
