Thank you Javier.
I am using a similar solution but with convert (imagemagick)
I just converted all .pdf files via a script to .eps files directly
with this script


#!/bin/sh
for i in $( ls *.pdf );
do
orig=$i
dest=$(echo $i | sed -e "s/.pdf/.eps/")
convert $orig $dest
done

then with emacs I made a search replace .pdf to .eps in the .tm file and 
now everything is working...
So the problem is related somhow to the pdf files....
This is as far as I can get.
I will give you all the pdf files you need if you want to investigate 
further.
I think it wuold be better to catch this bug as I also remember I had 
already found it a long time ago with ps files....
Thank you anyway to suggest an emergency solution.
Now I can print my report
