How To Configure Epstopdf For The Sphinx Plantuml Extension?

I'm trying to get Sphinx on Windows to generate a PDF with the rst2pdf plugin. My reStructuredText files make use of the PlantUML Sphinx extension. When generating a PDF, I get the

Solution 1:

A Google search tells me that epstopdf is a Perl application, which can be downloaded from CTAN. Install Strawberry Perl, and execute epstopdf.pl to test it:

D:\epstopdf>perl epstopdf.pl
Error: Input filename missing (try --help for more information)

Add the following to conf.py:

plantuml_epstopdf = 'perl "D:\epstopdf\epstopdf.pl"'

Install Ghostscript, and add it to the path:

set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.20\bin"

Now you can generate PDF's.
