TeX - LaTeX Asked by user50733 on June 6, 2021
My question has been asked before but none of the answers previously has answered my question. I have an .eps file that I want to include in my LaTeX document. For this purpose I have included the epstopdf package. However, when I try to compile my document by using pdflatex, I get the error message File 'foo-eps-converted-to-pdf' not found. In the log file it says:
{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] [2]
Package epstopdf Info: Source file: <Aoo.eps>
(epstopdf) date: 2014-04-28 18:54:16
(epstopdf) size: 18858 bytes
(epstopdf) Output file: <foo-eps-converted-to.pdf>
(epstopdf) Command: <epstopdf --outfile=foo-eps-converted-to.pdf foo.eps>
(epstopdf) includegraphics on input line 142.
runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=foo-eps-converted-to.pdf foo.eps)...disabled.
Package epstopdf Info: Result file: <foo-eps-converted-to.pdf>.
! Package pdftex.def Error: File `foo-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.
See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation. Type H
<return> for immediate help.
...
l.142 includegraphics{foo.eps}
It should be noted that all files are in the same directory, so there shouldn’t be any issues with that.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
The important line of the .log file is:
runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=foo-eps-converted-to.pdf foo.eps)...disabled.
The conversion do not work, because the shell escape feature is not enabled. Probably you are using an older TeX distribution. TeX Live and MiKTeX have a the restricted shell escape feature enabled by default.
On older systems (not too old, of course) the following option should work:
pdflatex --shell-escape
or (MiKTeX)
pdflatex --enable-write18

Just in case somebody else stumbles upon the same error message.
In my case the issue emerged from the file path of the *.eps file referenced in the *.eps_tex file, since I had all my pics in a separate subfolder called pics.
Changing
put(0,0){includegraphics[width=unitlength]{foo.eps}}
in the foo.eps_tex file to
put(0,0){includegraphics[width=unitlength]{pics/foo.eps}}
solved the problem.
Maybe this helps somebody.

I had a similar problem on a Mac and it gave me a real headache. The following helped me
In my log file I had:
runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=foo-eps-converted-to.pdf foo.eps)...executed
I was however told that:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gs
Reason: image not found
and so subsequently:
! Package pdftex.def Error: File `foo-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.
Turned out to be a problem with upgrading to Yosemite where X11 is moved from usr/X11 to opt/X11. I found another post about this which recommended manually adding a link:
sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11
For me this solved the problem.

I also had this issue on my Mac with macOS 10.12. Apple is not including X11 anymore, which is required for epstopdf. You need to download it at https://www.xquartz.org After that, all my eps files just run smoothly.

On Texmaker 5.0.3 (compiled with Qt 5.11.3), changing compiler to XeLateX made the trick for me:
xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

I had a similar problem with eps to pdf conversion. The log shows the error message as "file not found". I figured that the issues were with the figure name. It has a blank space in the name (for instance bus voltage.eps). The problem was solved when I changed the figure name to busVoltage.eps by deleting the blank space.
The error also pops up if the figure path has blank space in it. It's better to avoid blank spaces with _.
I hope this helps.
