Package pst-pdf:
Make PDF versions of graphics by processing between runs.

The package pst-pdf simplifies the use of graphics from PSTricks and other PostScript code in PDF documents. As in building a bibliography with BibTEX additional external programmes are being invoked. In this case they are used to create a PDF file (\PDFcontainer) that will contain all this graphics material. In the final document this contents will be inserted instead of the original PostScript code.

The package works with pstricks and requires a recent version of the preview package.
