I have that book too, it actually says "PDF doesn't really have the concept of a vector image such as an EPS or EMF" (p58). It's description of what an Form XObject is is rather brief though. To clarify, it's a way of embedding an existing PDF content stream, e.g. perhaps a diagram or a page from another PDF. It does not provide support for any other file formats. Most barcodes I've encountered in PDFs use special fonts, rather than graphics. -- John > ----- Mail original ----- > De: "Maruan Sahyoun" <[email protected]> > À: [email protected] > Envoyé: Jeudi 7 Mai 2015 17:38:54 > Objet: Re: Embedding an EPS > > Hi, > >> Am 07.05.2015 um 17:36 schrieb Tilman Hausherr <[email protected]>: >> >> Am 07.05.2015 um 09:15 schrieb [email protected]: >>> Hello, >>> >>> is it possible to embed an EPS in a PDF, with PDFBox? >> >> No because PDF doesn't support it: >> https://forums.adobe.com/thread/285464 >> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2029700/how-do-i-embed-eps-into-a-pdf-with-pdfapi2 > > or did you mean to embed the EPS file as an attachment to the PDF? > > BR > Maruan > >> >> >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] >> For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
