menu "media"-->"user defined..." set the values to the ones from the bounding box (hit "I" after you have loaded the gfx). for your example: BoundingBox 0 0 244 243 set the first value to 244pt, the second one to 243pt. now the conversion should work (retested!) :) <DEL> > 1. open the eps file with gs > 2. use "ps to eps" ( [x] automatically calculate ...] is set here) and > save in a different file > 3. convert this new file to pdf.
