Hi,

texexec's  --pdf switch uses pdfetex to generate a pdf document directly,
and pdftex does not accept images in eps format, only .pdf, .jpg and .png
are supported.

The  error message is slightly misleading, because it actually means:

  "figures: xx.eps.pdf has zero dimensions"

If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to
pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf
route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex).

Side note: it is generally better to use a 'bare' \externalfigure[xx]
instead
of giving an explicit extension. That way, assuming you have xx.eps and
xx.pdf,
both dvi and pdf trajects would work without the need for source changes.

Greetings, Taco
