Hello,
I downloaded the samples.zip from the Pragma site to play with.
Running pdftex 14.c,
ConTeXt ver: 1999.9.13 fmt: 1999.9.29 int: english mes: english
When I `texexec figs` producing dvi output, all works just fine, but when I
`texexec --pdf figs` I get:
"figures : figure cd can not be found" in the log
for the cd.eps in the directory where I have figs.tex.
Relevent line in figs.tex:
\externalfigure[cd.eps][width=1cm]
This may be a FAQ, but I figure this must have to do with pdftex processing in
some way. Am I missing a PATH setting in a config file, perhaps? All document
tex and graphic files are in the directory where I ran texexec.
Any ideas very welcome!

Hi Thomas,
Pdftex is unable to read EPS files, thus your problem. Try converting it
to PDF with the command
texutil --figures --epstopdf cd.eps
and change your \externalfigure line to
\externalfigure[cd][width=1cm]
If you ommit the filename extension, the most appropriate file will
usually be selected. I'm not sure if texexec can do this automatically.
I always use texutil myself for this.
Hans: This reminds me, the output for the above includes the lines
eps file : cd.eps
pdf file : cd.eps
Should the latter be "cd.pdf"?

There is no FAQ yet, but there will be a mail archive soon...
Cheers,
Matthew

what's meant is that it's a eps file prepared for pdf. It's still an eps
one, but with some additional info (page size set and guard against
redoing it and some AI rubish removed).
