Just be aware of some EPS issue in LO (and AOO): 1. EPS images in LO will only show the 'image preview'. The thread from this list is worth a read: <http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg02032.html> 2. You will most likely experience serious scrolling issues in a document with a large EPS. A simple example of this is: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37837> Download and try the attachment: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=47445> and you'll see what I mean. Open the TOP in a terminal & set to remain on top. Open the attachment .odt and try to scroll to the bottom of page 2 (where the EPS is embedded). You'll see a significant delay & if you watch TOP, you'll see that soffice first calls up gs (Ghost Script) & then convert (ImageMagick), and then finally will display the image preview. You can imagine what viewing the document will be like with multiple EPS images... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
