I incurred into the same problem while working with Kile. I modified Martin Weis script to process all the eps files in the directory and to add the suffix -eps-converted-to.pdf by default in generated pdfs , as Kile with the QuickBuild will be looking for those ones. Also it automatically crops files with pdfcrop, at least for my paper it worked fine with no strange parameters.
Still needs the awk file, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/689349/comments/63 --------8<---- eps2pdf.sh ---------- #!/bin/bash echo "Usage:" echo echo "eps2pdf [suffix] [dpapersize]" echo echo "Converts all the eps files in the directory.
