I have an error while trying to use epstopdf package. This is my code

\documentclass[11pt,oneside,a4paper,onecolumn]{article}

\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{pstricks}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{pst-grad} % For gradients
\usepackage{pst-plot} % For axes

% For using eps files
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\epstopdfsetup{outdir=./}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h!]
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.1\textwidth]{./apple2.eps}
    \caption{Apple}                                                             
\end{figure}
\end{document}

This is the error message:

Package epstopdf Warning: Shell escape feature is not enabled.

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/latexconfig/epstopdf-sys.cfg))) (./fig.aux)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.mkii

)

! Package pdftex.def Error: File `./apple2-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.

See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

l.15 ...raphics[width=0.1\textwidth]{./apple2.eps}

?

Do you know how to fix it?

  • You need to enable --shell-escape. So this either from the command line, or within your editor. – Werner Aug 29 '13 at 03:55
  • When using PSTricks( \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{pstricks}) go with latex-->dvips-->ps2pdf or xelatex compilation route (both support for inclusion of .eps figures normally), and hence no need for extra packages \usepackage{epstopdf} plus -shell-escape enabled as @Werner suggested. Note: replace \usepackage{epsfig} (obsolete) with \usepackage{graphicx} – texenthusiast Aug 29 '13 at 03:59

When using PSTricks package \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{pstricks} go with

latex-->dvips-->ps2pdf or xelatex compilation route (both support for inclusion of .eps figures normally). With both compilation routes, there is no need for extra packages \usepackage{epstopdf} plus -shell-escape enabled as @Werner suggested.

Note: replace obsolete \usepackage{epsfig} with \usepackage{graphicx}

I had a similar problem and solved it by adding \include{graphicx} before \include{epstopdf}.
