I have an issue with epstopdf.exe and that leads to inability to use .eps files for creating pdf documents. Here is the example of console output when I try to transform a sample eps file manually using epstopdf:

c:\>epstopdf --verbose r_t_a.eps
Making c:\r_t_a.pdf from c:\r_t_a.eps...
epstopdf: Invalid argument

c:\>Error: /ioerror in --run--

I also get this "epstopdf: Invalid argument" for every .eps image I try to use in my .tex document. Do you know how to solve this issue?

It is possible to see the EPS? – daleif May 21 '14 at 07:33
Does it work if you move the eps to some folder instead of trying to compile in C:? – Ulrike Fischer May 21 '14 at 10:03
@daleif I think it doesn't matter because on my second PC all my eps files (including "r_t_a.eps") transform with 'epstopdf'. And on this PC epstopdf always returns "Invalid argument" message. – agolovanov May 22 '14 at 06:42
Then check if the versions are the same – daleif May 22 '14 at 07:31
