Ok, Some Makefile logic could be added to copy only on changes, but that will increase the Makefile complexity. So, I prefer not using copy. As I said before, a Sphinx extension that would make transparent for PDF document generation when a non-PDF image is included, doing whatever conversion needed, seems to be the right fix here, but someone would need to step up and write such extension. -- Cheers, Mauro
