Steve ,
I use a lot of EPSs in my documents.
We did also, but PostScript is slowly dying because of "no
transparency". LO and OO handles well EPS, but you need a eps with
"previeuw" to show a bitamp representation off the content. Making a
native-PDF (using PDF-export) export the bitamp representation and not
the vector data.
Making PDF with a Postscript application like(PS2PDF) works very well
and here the vector data are used, not the bitmaps.
Using SVG is the future, Both LO and OO are fast advancing in there use
of it, the major problem is that the current PDF export also export a
bitmap representation and not the vector data, this was not so in older
versions, LO promeses to fix this issue in 3.7 = (4.0) no news from OO.
These are usually the first to drop out with the lost image problem
(resolved by turning auto save off). I have linux and mac, so not sure
if EPS compatibility is reduced on win. I have a feeling on windows
the thumbnail image in many EPSs is used instead of the actual EPS
vector data producing poor looking results. LO wasn't producing PDFs
well with EPSs (doing the same as win) so I print to PS and use PS2PDF.

Hi :)
Eps?? Are you sure? I seem to have trouble with my Epses but that
is probably either my fault or some weirdness of the program
producing the Eps (i think Adobe Creative something, an expensive
product that tries to force other people into buying it.) So, is
there somewhere i can test an Eps to see how well it conforms to what
it should be?
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi.
PDF is not listed as a type of image to insert in my LO 3.5. EPS
is if
you can convert the PDF's.
