[Bug-gs] Problems in pdf-images in pdflatex output

[Alex Cherepanov]

Dear Mr. Tuulos,

Please send me all the files:
(1) Original EPS
(2) EPS file converted to PDF
(3) Latex document
(4) results from pdflatex
(5) results from pdflatex processed by GS

Compress the files using any compressor. I have them all.
It the total size of the files is larger than 20M put
them on ftp.
