If you wish to use the epstopdf
package with Texifier, you must first enable the -shell-escape
option of the typesetting pane of the Preferences window.
This is because epstopdf
launches an external binary via \write18{}
, which must be explicitly enabled when invoking TeX. This is because \write18{}
allows for arbitrary code execution on your machine, which is a serious security hole. For obvious reasons we do not enable this by default.
