Why do you assume, that hyperref can include graphics? Perhaps
you are surprised, but for including graphics there are the
two packages "graphics" or the more powerful "graphicx".

Since many many years the LaTeX standard way is the use
of package "graphics" or "graphicx" for including graphics.
"epsfig" is a relict from one of the last centuries.

Not supported by pdfTeX, PDF does not have
the power of a programming language such as PostScript.
You can try pdftricks for a way to use psfrag with
pdfTeX.

"doublespace" comes from LaTeX 2.09, replace it
by the successor "setspace".

Not recommended, not needed for correct links to figures.
You can use package hypcap if you want a better anchor
placement.

hyperref chooses this automatically, if the driver supports this.
Therefore the use of breaklinks is not recommended.

These are plain-TeX assignments.

\setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in}% This is LaTeX2e

This is already done by the driver file "pdftex.def".

Perhaps "doublespace" can be the cause, see above.
