The package adds support for EPS files in the graphicx package when running under PDFTeX. If an EPS graphic is detected, the package spawns a process to convert the EPS to PDF, using the script epstopdf. This of course requires that shell escape is enabled for the PDFTeX run.

The package is part of the oberdiek bundle.
