• You want text in the EPS file to be displayed with the original fonts, without any font substitutions.
• You are working with a large EPS file, and you don’t want to slow down the application.
During the CorelDRAW Technical Suite X7 installation, you have the option of installing Ghostscript®, which is an application that interprets
the PostScript file format. Ghostscript allows you to import PostScript Level 3 files. If you did not install Ghostscript when you first installed
the product, you can do so now.

• Import as editable —brings in the file as a group of Corel DESIGNER objects that you can modify
• Place as encapsulated PostScript —places the preview image in the drawing. You cannot modify specific parts of the file, but you can
edit the file as a whole by applying transformations, such as sizing and rotation.

• Text — preserves text objects in the imported file so that you can edit the text
• Curves — converts text to curves

Some restrictions apply when you modify EPS files imported as editable. For more information, see “PostScript (PS or PRN) technical

text.
You can also drag an EPS file from Windows Explorer into the drawing window.
