EPS images
Hello. I have been told to use EPS images in my LaTeX document. But, when I look back to the directory of my LaTeX document after compiling, I observe that all the EPS images were converted to PDF and named as image-eps-converted-to.pdf. Why is it so? Why can't the EPS images directly be included? Why does it get copied into PDF format while compiling the document?

Re: EPS images
PdfLaTeX simply cannot work with eps-figures. In the backround, all files are converted to pdf, both are vector formats and there is no loss in quality.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Re: EPS images
Then what should I do to directly include EPS images? I have been told to use EPS only.

You can compile in classical mode and output a dvi (
Or use XeLaTeX, which can use eps-figures.

latex instead of pdflatex). This dvi can be converted to ps and to pdf. Or use XeLaTeX, which can use eps-figures.
