Re: [MiKTeX] a perfect dvi with .eps files creates a very bad pdf ?!

[<dar...@gm...>]

Actually, the problem is in matlab  eps file. I do my figures in
matlab usually, and it puts a white square begind every figure it
creates... the best way is to use some eps editor (like CorelDraw) and
delete unnecessary ps elements.

Regards, Dario.

It is not a miktex/latex problem after all! :)
