Bonjour Pascal,
There is a solution in Ghostscript called 'ps2epsi'.
NAME
ps2epsi - generate conforming Encapsulated PostScript
SYNOPSIS
ps2epsi infile.ps [ outfile.epsi ] (Unix)
ps2epsi infile.ps [ outfile.epi ] (DOS)
DESCRIPTION
ps2epsi uses gs(1) to process a PostScript(tm) file and
generate as output a new file which conforms to Adobe's Encap-
sulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI is a
special form of encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to
the beginning of the file in the form of PostScript comments a
bitmapped version of the final displayed page. Programs
which understand EPSI (usually word processors or DTP programs)
can use this bitmap to give a preview version on screen
of the PostScript. The displayed quality is often not very
good (e.g., low resolution, no colours), but the final
printed version uses the real PostScript, and thus has the
normal PostScript quality.
The problem is not so easy, because some PostScript(tm) files got some
directive that can't be encapsulated. The best way is to try it out
and see the final result.
Hope this helps.
