Using TeXShop v 3.51 with Typeset flags LaTeX and PdfTex. Distribution: TeXLive-2014, Intel 64.

The PDF versions from Mathematica have inferior typesetting and EPS fixes the problem. How can I use the EPS files?

====== addendum: EPS vs PDF

The top figure is the eps version, notice the label for the dependent parameter. In the subsequent PDF version the letter "a" collides with the absolute value operator.

  • What TeX distribution are you using? Whichever it is, you should delete \usepackage{epsfig}. – Ian Thompson Jun 16 '15 at 15:33
  • Convert the .eps files to .pdf. – Bernard Jun 16 '15 at 15:43
  • @Bernard: The pdf files are lower quality than the eps versions. – dantopa Jun 16 '15 at 15:49
  • @Ian: epsfig package call deleted. Malady persists. – dantopa Jun 16 '15 at 15:50
  • I meant convert yourself the .eps to .pdf. Personally I can see no difference, at least for converting .eps files produced with pstricks. A lua script like epspdfmakes an excellent job, with te help of ghostscript. Maybe there are problems if the .eps is actually a bitmap graphic file, converted to postscript. For true vector graphics, I don't think there's a difference. – Bernard Jun 16 '15 at 15:55
  • If youabsolutely want to include .epd files, you'll have to follow the way latex -> dvips -> pstopdf, not pdflatex. – Bernard Jun 16 '15 at 15:58

    @Bernard: manual conversion from eps to pdf. Yes, this works using "Save As..." in Preview. Thanks. – dantopa Jun 16 '15 at 16:06
  • @Bernard --- if the OP is using a modern installation the figures should be converted to pdf on the fly by pdflatex. – Ian Thompson Jun 16 '15 at 18:14
  • @Ian: automatic conversion was the expected result. Thanks for your insights. – dantopa Jun 16 '15 at 19:44
  • To get this resolved I've duped: the linked question is more generally about graphics formats but does mention auto-conversion. – Joseph Wright Jul 28 '15 at 06:02
