Chapter 2: Documents and Setup
Convert EPSF into Canvas Objects: If you choose to create Canvas objects from an
EPSF object, the EPSF object is replaced in the document by equivalent Canvas objects.
Depending on the contents of the original EPS file, you might not be able to edit some
objects as you expect after the conversion. For example, you would not be able to edit
text if the EPS file contained outlines (paths) for text characters, rather than the
characters themselves; you could use path-editing techniques to edit the objects.
Embed EPSF Into Document: If an EPS graphic has been imported with the Place
EPSF Reference option, you can use the context menu to convert the graphic from a
linked EPS graphic to an EPS graphic that is placed in the document. The result is the
same as importing an EPS file and selecting Create EPSF Object.
EPSF Info: You can get information from an EPS graphic if it was imported with the
Place EPSF Reference option. Canvas will display information on the location of the EPS
file that is linked into the document. If the file can’t be found in its original location,
Canvas displays a message. To re-link the file, click File, and use the directory dialog box
to select the EPS file. Then, click OK in the message box.
