I used usually 'epstopdf' for this purpose, but one can also use texutil --figures --epstopdf some_eps_file.eps (I tend to forget the syntax of texutil, moreover I'm frequently unsure whether texexec or texutil contains a certain feature therefore I usually use epstopdf which does essentially the same). >I am able to import jpg images.

That's better than being stuck for that long! Tobias
