------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Aug 20 10:31:07 -0700 2006 ------- OK, I know... this has been discussed before but it doesn't seem to go anywhere and I'd really like to do this... but classify me as 'not having much of a clue'. Anyway, maybe it's really a PATCH. I am trying to write some documentation where it would be useful to rip off sections of PDF files and embed them in the document. After a few tears I came back to this Open Office thing because I'd spotted the Insert Picture part that will grab an .eps file. I don't care that it just places a placeholder in the document. I don't care that it doesn't do the job via the internal PDF export. I do know that, using winsteng from adobe and a colour printer thing during the setup, I can print things from other things in .eps format. Then, using ghostscript I can convert them to .pdf and all is well. I can also use the same method on an Open Office document.... However, when I embed an .eps file in the document and then print the document to a .ps or .eps file and run it through ps2pdf it decides to dissapear off the top of the page. One thing I noticed is that before the .eps file gets imported into the document there is some pre-processing that goes on. There is some sort of call to... c:\windows\system32\convert.exe followed by C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.54\bin\gs32winc.exe Now, I'm assuming that because the original .eps file is the size it is (as printed) and the size on the document is going to be different, due to margins and position, it needs to get scaled and offset so that's why the calls are made. After the pre-processing it gets stuck on the document as an outline and the 'new' eps 'instructions' are saved in the file for later use(?) Unfortunately it looks like something goes wrong when the translation is made by the other two bits of software, either they get some wrong parameters passed to them or they are just.... whatever. I've looked at the eps file from an original print and then one after import and printing and the part that contains the 'picture' seems to be the same. However there are differences in the surrounding eps code that I couldn't begin to understand...... Anyway. Hope that makes sense to someone.
