5.7 Resources for troubleshooting
=================================

Logfile.  The GUI has a button for viewing log output.  This same output
is also written to a file 'epspdf.log'.  For Linux/Unix/Mac Mac OS this
is in a subdirectory .epspdf of your home directory; for Windows it is
in a subdirectory epspdf of '%APPDATA%'.  This APPDATA directory may be
'c:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming'.  Type
     echo %APPDATA%
in a Command Prompt window to find out which.

The logfile lists all epspdf calls and all Ghostscript- and pdftops
calls plus error information.

Temporary files.  The temporary files may give clues as well.  Uncheck
the button "Remove temp files", or for the command-line version, give a
-d parameter to keep the temporary files.  Check the log(file) as to
which temporary files have been created.

Ghostscript- and pdftops documentation.  For Ghostscript, the most
important files are VectorDevices.htm and Use.htm.  For pdftops, type
'pdftops -h'.  For Unix, there is also a man page, and for Windows there
is a file pdftops.txt in the distribution zip.  TeX Live includes the
man page in pdf format: pdftops.pdf.
