General ⇒ Include PDF Graphics in Latex

[phi]

Just to make it clear: If you compile with latex, you get a DVI file and you cannot include PDF graphics. If you compile with pdflatex, you get a PDF file (without any intermediate steps) and you can include PDF graphics (but not EPS graphics). In my eyes, the only advantage of a DVI file nowadays is the availability of viewers with inverse search functionality and the possibility to use PSTricks. Since most DVI files eventually get converted to PDF anyway, you should produce them directly if you don't insist on the inverse search functionality.

To convert a pdf to eps you can also use Gimp: just open your pdf file with Gimp, then select "Save as..." from the "File" menu, and choose the eps format from the "Select file type".

But from what I see you don't need to do that if your desired output is pdf... As was pointed out earlier by localghost, just use the graphicx package without any driver, and use pdflatex to compile instead of standard latex.
