The configuration of pdfTdX is apparently broken.  It searches
for the commercial Adobe fonts (named por_____.pfb stc), rather
than for the free substitutes (URW Palladio) which come with the
TeX system.

Well, the right way would have been to fix the configuration of
pdfTeX, so that it searches for p052003l.pfb etc.

Either you have the original Palatino fonts somwehere on your PC,
so that epstopdf uses them, or epstopdf uses actually Palladio and
can fake the /FontName in the generated PDF file -- I don't know.

You won't see any difference in quality.

Obtain the commercial Adobe font files such as por_____.pfb etc.
and put them into a directory where pdfTeX will find them.
