Not sure it's just ancient academic pipelines. Libreoffice impress
accepts eps images but not pdf...

Hi,
it depends whether one is working in more old school scientific areas
where the benefits of pdf over e/ps aren't that present and the people
stick to there very old pipelines, they are using for 20 years. You
can't teach an old dog new tricks! But getting rid of e/ps is overdue
for at least 10 years.
Pdf has some advantages over ps/eps like they are easy to parse when
ocr is used. Images can be taken from them and their data can be made
available again. ps/eps have to be first translated to pdf to use all
this on them. Python3 has good pdf-parsers for processing in PI and
it's latex generators are fine to. So there is no loss when e/ps isn't
supported any more. One finally can get rid of all that ancient ballast.
Cheers,
Christian

hi all,
I myself use a lot this output, specially in the EPS extension... But
after reading, it would be possible/easy to implement a call to
ghostscript to make the conversion from pdf or other format to eps/ps? I
am no programmer, so it is possible that I am speaking nonsense...

Gonzalo
