I am actually writing the eps in windows with the adobe's driver, and it works fine...I would like to do the same in linux, any idea?, do you know if ghostscript could be use as a printer to do the output to an eps?... GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: Ghostscript. Adobe's postscript printer You can

I've already said what I need to do, pick a premade draw, and allow the user to change the blanks to color, like in a paint app for kids, and then export this to an eps, that simple is the idea. The queries must be received by a server ( a custom app?), or I'm missing something... You said,

Ghostscript. Adobe's postscript printer You can write the eps manually (define some useful macros and the actual generation becomes easy) Probably XSLT would do the job as well. It really depends on what you want to do with the eps files and whether it is important to use eps at every step.

Can you not just use a postscript printer under windows to create the file? If you download the Adobe generic PostScript driver, set the output to file and to be eps rather than PostScript and you should be able to print your Flash to eps. Ron Gabriel wrote: Ok, I'll try to put it simple.

hi Ron, I already have it done this way. A postscript printer in the server, and it works like a charm. But the problem is how to receive a lot of queries for printing with an automated app...any idea? thanks GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: Can you not just use a postscript printer under windows to

Who is receiving the queries? This sounds like a server side issue. There are lots of tools to create output on a server. Why are people changing the colors. Does this get done for each print or is the color changed once and requested from a server. It might save a lot of time if you actually

Ok, I'll try to put it simple. I have researched about the eps, I opened it, changed it, and I see where are the paremeters I need with a few problems(like identify each shape to apply different color), but if you want, forget the eps input. The point is: 1 - I Have a swf with a drawing

Ok, sounds good, but I don't see clearly how to convert my already drawn eps/whatever into commands so can rewrite a svg an then save it. I can make instructions for writing the svg, but I have the drawings pre made. GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: You can send an XML file of drawing instructions

You can send an XML file of drawing instructions to the server and use XSLT to do anything that you want. a) You can convert it to SVG or EPS. b) You can convert it to your own vector format c) You can hold onto it as an XML and redraw it in your Flash program later d) You can convert it to a

Have you looked at SVG as an alternative? You may be able generate this on the client without the server. What about PDF. Have a look at Apache's FOP as a server tool for converting input to various output formats. Let me know what you think of these. There may be more ways to skin this

What I need is to import the drawing, that's why I choose eps (but the only real need is that it must be vectorial), Not really to export the image created by the user, but recreate it on the server side, based on a few parameters. I can live without the drawing part. PDF would be a

Ok, let me get this straight: You don't want to convert a .swf file into a .eps file. You want to export data generated from within your .swf file into a .eps file? If it is just vector images you want to export, than I would say go with SVG, it's XML based, and most vector image tools will read

Without know exactly what you want to do, you might be able to rig something up using a swf wrapper of some sort (like zinc) which will load the swf, then trigger a print, then use one of the many free printer drivers which output .ps files -David R On 3/30/06, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
