By the way, there is a third way for geogebra, which supports direct  
output of pdf files.

> 2. Add to preamble of your document _package_ epstopdf, like below
> ... PREAMBLE
> \usepackage{epstopdf}
> ... REST OF PREAMBLE
> Then just run pdflatex, package `epstopdf' will do job on converting EPS
> files to PDF before including them into document.
