There are in short terms 2 ways: (to the best of m.k.)
1.- (My preferred) use directly pdflatex from a recent LaTeX distribution
(teTeX or MikTeX are ok). Your figures should be in one of .pdf .png .jpg
formats.
2.- Compile the resulting LaTeX with "latex". You'll get a PostScript
file (e.g. result.ps). Your figures should be un .eps format. Check the
result with ghostview or similar (g.v. output.ps). Then transform to PDF
using ps2pdf or pstopdf.

Ramon
