After putting off some diagrams, which I finally got round to doing today, i noticed the quality is quite poor in comparison to other that I have done. I have had to convert .png to .eps files for the most recent images.
I was wandering if it would be worth using pdflatex to compile direct to .pdf?
Below is the code for my main file. I was wandering what else I would need to change in this file to compile directly to .pdf?

\includegraphics[width=o.8\textwidth][file]Is there anything else i need to be aware of and would it be worth it?
I am obviously not going to change my thesis as it stands but will make a copy and and have a play around with it, in the hope that it will work.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
danj
