I looked at the .eps file in emacs, and it has junk at the beginning and the end. My system (GNU/Linux) says: $ file testPlaatje.eps testPlaatje.eps: DOS EPS Binary File Postscript starts at byte 30 length 4085 Metafile starts at byte 4115 length 2658 If I delete those bytes at the beginning and end, then epstopdf produces a pdf with a tight bounding box (at least here). Not sure what a 'Metafile' is, but maybe it's some MS-Windows-specific stuff. But it's not needed for the .eps to work. -Sanjoy "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." --Richard Stallman ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
