Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53762
eps's preview is printed instead of vector image
Last modified: 2005-08-25 20:12:36 UTC
My OO Writer document contains an eps file with preview info. When printing or exporting to EPS, I get a raster image (probably from the preview) instead of a vector image.
The issue description should have read "or exporting to PDF".
For PDF export to show EPS graphics OOo would need a PostScript interpreter - which it doesn't have is is rather non trivial to implement. On the printing side EPS is passed through to the printer on Unix systems always since OOo produces PostScript there anyway and on Windows if the printer supports PostScript passthrough. One could think about employing ghostscript for PostScript interpreting. This would be a nice feature addition IMHO.
