The test-binary and test-bin2 files were supplied by Akira Kakuto and
Reinhard Kotucha. They contain binary data. They are public domain.
The test-binhdr* files were supplied by Martin von Gagern, constructed
as follows. They contain binary junk before the EPS starts. We also
use these to test different line endings. These files are public domain.

epstopdf – Convert EPS to 'encapsulated' PDF using GhostScript
Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an
‘encapsulated’ PDF file (a single page file whose
media box is the same as the original EPS’s bounding
box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by PDFTeX as an
image.
The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on Unix-alike
systems.
The script makes use of
Ghostscript for the actual
conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later,
and (by default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where
most of the text is not horizontal.
LaTeX users may make use of the
epstopdf package, which will run
the epstopdf script “on the fly”, thus giving the
illusion that PDFLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.
