Looking at the other posts on this thread too, the suggestion of other
formats from FOP was raised. I found this page:
http://www.inkguides.com/ps-to-eps.asp
So can you not use FOP to generate a Postscript file instead of a PDF
which sounds easier to convert to EPS?
Also I googled 'ps to eps' and it threw up a few potential converters
including a GNU perl based tool and others.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,
I need to convert it to EPS, this is a necessary point.
I've tried all the way to translate a pdf to eps passing through an image
and so on...
But all lose quality, they all rasterize the pdf.
Now I'm using Apache FOP that could create other output formats
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/output.html
but I don't know if the other format could be convert to eps.
With this other information can you suggest me something?

A quick look online (I googled 'pdf to eps') reveals a number of
potential solutions. But forum link
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=59787 was interesting in
that is sounds as if there is no absolutely perfect solution. Some
convert to bitmap so lose quality, while others have various other
problems. One suggestion even suggested rebuilding the pdf in eps format
from scratch (I suspect that is unacceptable!).
I do quote from that forum link though: "EPS is another
Adobe-proprietary file format, specifically belonging to Illustrator but
Photoshop can create and work with some form of it. Here's my question:
what are you trying to accomplish in this conversion? Is it necessary to
convert the file to EPS, or is that mainly a file format you're most
familiar with?"
Thanks.

I'm creating a pdf with Apache FOP in Linux then I need to convert the
pdf it
into an eps.
I'm trying lot of ways, the only one that seems works is the pdftops.
But,
when I convert it into Linux in command line
pdftops file.pdf -eps file.eps
This command creates me the eps but when I try to open it in Adobe
Illustrator in Windows XP It returns me the error
EAAFD+HelveticaNeueLTStd-MdCnO_99-Identify-H;
Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted.
But 1: the fonts han not been substituted 2: the eps do not show words
inside it is all blank instead of the images
I'm sure that in Windows XP I have all the fonts becouse if I convert the
pdf to an eps inside the Adobe Illustrator all works fine and Adobe
Illustrator do not show me the fonts issue.
Can you help me?
What I'm doing wrong?
