Re: [MiKTeX] [Change: MikTex 2.6 to 2.7] error with BB files (non vectorial graphics)

[Jean-Baptiste V. <jva...@gm...>]

Thanks.
Not a bad idea to put these rules in the beginning of the main file.
But personaly, I don't like to convert everything in eps. Especially JPG
files because EPS files are much bigger than JPG.

Jean-Baptiste
