There are two versions of eps files. One version is identified by the
following text in its first line:
PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-2.0
The other version is identified by:
PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
(Both are preceded by percent-exclamation which I did not include)
Turns out that gimp 2.2.6 (the version shipped with Debian Sarge)
exports to eps version 3.0, while other tools export/expect eps version
2.0.
I found that hand-editing the first line from 3.0 to 2.0 makes the other
tool which I used (docbook2pdf) happy. The sed command which does the
same thing is:
sed -e 1s/3\\.0/2.0/g < ver3epsfile.eps > ver2epsfile.eps
I do not know what are the real differences between version 2.0 and 3.0
and whether gimp actually uses any 3.0 specific features.
This E-mail message was posted after a friend told me that eps files
exported by gimp do not work also in application which he uses.
