You would also need the package epstool. This is a user contributed package, and is not available in the official repositories. Rather, it should be installed from the AUR. There are several methods to do this. One of them is to use yay which is an AUR helper.

  pacman -S yay
 
Install epstool with yay:
 
yay -S epstool
