------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 26 02:03:38 -0800 2006 ------- I'm referring to issue 53503 <cite> When I load an .eps image file into my document, and print to a postscript printer, the eps file is embedded and prints correctly. When I choose PDF export, the embedded eps preview is shown in the PDF instead and when the PDf is printed, the embedded eps preview is printed instead of the actual eps. </cite> This was turned down because OOo does not have a builtin postscript interpreter. However, if there is a ps interpreter available on the platform (as is the case on most Linux boxes and on a lot of Win installations I know), it should be used. Using eps images is still the number one choice if you want to include high- quality (vector) graphics, say: diagrams for scientific publications and the like, which are produced by some plot program or other. Up to now, you have to 'print' the document with a postscript converter to a file (again, standard on Linux or available for free from Adobe for Win) and then call the ps->pdf converter manually to get said high-quality output. This renders the nice pdf-export feature included in OOo quite useless, sorry to say that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
