Description andrixnet 2006-02-24 08:25:55 UTC

Vector drawings created in Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and saved as EPS files, then
imported into OpenOffice yield the following results : 

Saving eps file from illustrator setting "version 8.0 or 9.0" will import as an
empty box stating the creator software and creation date.

Saving eps file from illustrator setting "version all from 3.0 to 7.0" and no
document preview will import as an empty box stating the creator software and
creation date.

Saving eps file from illustrator setting "version all from 3.0 to 7.0" with
document preview, will import into openoffice as a _very_ low resolution,
upscaled, bitmap of the image. Also prints the same. 
The actual vector image as in illustrator cannot be seen in Writer.

duplicate.

OOo 2.0.2 and later will generate a replacement graphic of reasonable quality
when no preview is available and when you have one of the following programs
installed pstoedit, convert (from ImageMagick) or ghostscript. (see issue 9290)

When you save the eps with preview, OOo displays that preview. That is always
low-quality (well- what can you expect from a preview)..

OOo doesn't include a postscript interpreter and thus cannot render the
postscript by itself. (see issue 14163)

To get high-quality printouts, use a postscript-printer (or something that can
print postscript to your real printer, such as ghostscript.
Or alternatively don't include a preview in the eps and use OOo 2.0.2 and let it
generate a better-quality replacement.
