Creating
EPS Files
Many applications can save or export output in the EPS format.
This format is robust but not very portable. If you want to
publish these files to the Web or use them in desktop
publishing, imaging or technical data management, you'll need to
move them into another format.
Use Visual Integrity software to convert your EPS files,
individually or in batch mode, into the optimal format for your target system.
Please note that applications vary in the quality of EPS they
produce. If you encounter difficulties producing satisfactory
EPS files, you can try switching to pure PostScript by printing
‘to file’ to a PostScript printer driver and then using the
PostScript input feature of PDF FLY.

EPS
Encapsulated PostScript
|
|
While PostScript is primarily a printing language, Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) is a graphic file format. It was derived from
PostScript to enable exchange of graphics between applications and platforms and placement of single-page PostScript files inside documents destined for PostScript or PDF printing. It has become a standard in both technical and desktop publishing
as well as pre-press.
Because most applications can not interpret PostScript,
EPS files cannot be rendered on-screen, authored, or printed
to non-PostScript printers. To enable display, EPS files can include a low-quality raster preview image that gets displayed on-screen or printed to non-PostScript printers. There are several varieties of such previews, the most prevalent of which is TIFF.
With Visual Integrity, you'll overcome the limitations of working with EPS files
and be able to move them usefully into new enviroments.
Visual Integrity supports PostScript and encapsulated
PostScript (see EPS) as input options for the FLY
product family. Choose the one that suits your requirements:
PDF FLY - In addition to PDF, PostScript and EPS
are standard input options for PDF FLY. With this powerful
desktop tool, you can convert multiple files or directories
into your choice of 13 standard vector and bitmap formats.
PDF FLY is a consolidation of products previously known as
ps2vector, pdf2vector, ps2bitmap,
pdf2bitmap, ps2text and pdf2text. FLY Batch - Automate your
PostScript or EPS conversions using the simple
command-line interface. Use the fine-tuning controls to
obtain a high degree of control over the final output into
the vector or bitmap formats you select.
FLY SDK - Use the API or
Windows DLL with your PostScript or EPS input to integrate support for viewing, importing and
exporting vector and bitmap formats into your applications. |

Support Notes:
- Full support for Level 1, 2 and 3 PostScript input for conversion to ASCII text and vector output formats.
- Files may contain vector graphics, raster images and text
with fonts (PostScript, Type 1 or TrueType fonts).
- Preview images are not needed and will be ignored during conversion. EPS files created on the Macintosh platform may have a image preview in front of the PostScript code and will not be recognized as valid input. Contact support@visual-integrity.com
for details on how to produce EPS that can be consumed
by PDF FLY.

 Mohawk Industries,
the leading producer and distributor of flooring worldwide,
relies on PDF FLY to streamline their marketing workflow to
move logos, product images, brochures and ads into their XML-based online authoring and publishing system.
Files are converted on Linux from EPS into SVG, the XML
standard for scalable vector graphics on the Web.

The world-renowned Swiss Federal Institute of Technology,
ETH Zurich, forms a community of 20,000 people from 80
nations who have achieved an outstanding research record.
Visual Integrity products are at work in several faculties.
One professor uses MATLAB to generate sophisticated data plots in EPS format. To share these with colleagues, he needed a solution to publish the EPS files to the Web in a format that enabled people to zoom and pan the results. SVG was the answer, automatically produced in seconds by invoking PDF FLY via a command line script
on UNIX.

Harris Corporation uses FrameMaker to produce its technical
manuals. The graphics are either produced in CAD applications
or stored in legacy systems such as Interleaf. In both cases, they
rely on PDF FLY to convert the drawings from EPS into MIF
producing graphics that are editable and can be easily imported into their FrameMaker documents.
