I can't really understand what you are saying here. The answer to the
question I think you are asking is that pdftex cannot handle
postscript figures.

I have added pdf versions of the figures, and a Makefile rule, to the
emacs CVS. The following works for me, with or without ASCII figures:

cd doc/lispintro
make emacs-lisp-intro.pdf
