4.3 Windows
===========

I know of no built-in facility for converting bitmaps to eps or pdf,
apart from "printing" to PostScript or pdf.  However, many image editors
can convert to eps or pdf.  A couple of command-line utilities:
     sam2p image.png image.eps
or
     bmeps -c image.png image.eps
sam2p is distributed with TeX Live (Windows only), bmeps both with TeX
Live and with MikTeX. Without the '-c' option, bmeps produces a
grayscale image.  It produces larger files than sam2p.

With TeX Live, you can convert to eps by right-clicking an image in
Windows Explorer and "open" with _bitmap2eps_, which uses sam2p or bmeps
in the background.
