Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) technical notes
Importing an EPS file
• When you import an EPS file as editable, the PostScript information in the file is converted to native CorelDRAW objects that you can edit
with some restrictions. For information about these restrictions, see “PostScript (PS or PRN) technical notes” on page 686.
• If the encapsulated PostScript file was imported with the Place as Encapsulated PostScript option, and if it contains a preview image
(called a header), the preview image is imported and displayed. The EPS information remains attached to the header and is used when
the image is printed to a PostScript printer.
Exporting an EPS file
• On a PostScript printer, graphics exported to the encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format print from other programs exactly as they do from
a Corel graphics programs.
• You can save a header to the Tagged Image file format (TIFF) or Windows Metafile format (WMF) in black and white, 4-bit grayscale or
color, or 8-bit grayscale or color. You can set the header resolution between 1 and 300 dots per inch (dpi); the default header resolution
is 72 dpi. If the program importing the EPS file has a limitation on the image header size, you might receive an error message stating
that the file is too large. To reduce file size, in the EPS export dialog box, choose Black and White from the Mode box, and lower
the header resolution before exporting the file. The setting determines only the resolution of the header and has no impact on the
print quality of a drawing. Color headers are useful for viewing EPS files. If the program in which you are going to use the file does not
support color headers, try exporting with a mono header instead. You can also export without a header.
• Along with the graphic, exported EPS files contain a filename, program name, and date.
• To save font information in an EPS file, enable the Include fonts check box in the Export text as area.
• If you export text as curves, text is converted to vector curves.
• If a font used in the file is not available on the printer or has not been saved in the file, either the text is printed in Courier font or the
drawing is not printed.
