!epstopdf plotname.eps && rm plotname.eps
That will give you nice, compact PDF plots with far less hassle.

You can do this without the temporary file, since gnuplot supports pipes:
set terminal postscript
set output "| ps2pdf - file.pdf"

I can send you a complete example script off-list if you want.

gnuplot: set terminal pdf

Hello
I was wondering if anyone manage to get 'set terminal pdf' to work
on there debian machine. Apparently there is a licensing issue:
[Bug#248426: set terminal pdf doesn't work]
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_frm/thread/b7637b115e19b025/b98c9bc765a0b895?&hl=en#b98c9bc765a0b895
Is there a way to get pdflite ? I was trying with
debian-unofficial.org but again I cannot get this library.
$ sudo apt-get install pdflib-lite
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package pdflib-lite
I did check that I can access some other packages on this server. for instance:
$ sudo apt-get install bladeenc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Recommended packages:
bladeenc-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed
bladeenc
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 150 not upgraded.
Need to get 62.2kB of archives.
After unpacking 193kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get: 1 http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/main bladeenc
0.94.2-1duo+etch1 [62.2kB]
Fetched 62.2kB in 0s (98.3kB/s)
Selecting previously deselected package bladeenc.
(Reading database ... 203847 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking bladeenc (from .../bladeenc_0.94.2-1duo+etch1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up bladeenc (0.94.2-1duo+etch1) ...
Sugestions very welcome
