Running OO under FreeBSD 5.4
I import an encapsulated postscript diagram from file into OO-2.0 and
it displays as a rectangle with some information about and from the
file in red text. Not too unexpected!
But then when I ask for a page preview it still does not expand the
eps code.
Much worse; if I export as a pdf document and the only the
information -- not the diagram -- appears in the pdf output.
Mostly I like OO but how do I get around this? Have I overlooked a
switch/option somewhere.

There are some relevant bugs that have been filed on these issues,
both with OO.org:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9290
The above issue appears to be fixed in OOo 2.0.2 (The issue is tagged
FIXED with Milestone 2.0.2 - and, as I mentioned in a previous post,
works for me with OOo 2.0.2 on Fedora Core 3 Linux).
and at RH by me:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=142535
Again, appears to be fixed in 2.0.2. I used the standard PDF export and
it renders fine in Adobe Reader. I did not try printing it though, but
if Adobe Reader can render it then it should print.
So, if you can, the solution would be to upgrade to OOo 2.0.2.
The solution to the EPS preview is to be sure that the 'Preview'
checkbox in the insert picture from file dialog (lower left hand
corner by the 'Link' checkbox) is checked. This will generate a
bitmapped preview image on import. This is new with OO.org 2.x.
This may also have been improved because I don't see any pixelation
(jaggies yes, because it doesn't appear to be antialiased) on a screen
1600 x1200 at 600% zoom.

On the PDF export, as I note in the RH entry, the default PDF export
does not render the EPS image in the resultant PDF file, only the
placeholder box or the bitmapped preview.
If you want a PDF file with the EPS image properly rendered, two options:
1. Print the document to a PS file using a PS printer driver and then
use ps2pdf to do the conversion.
2. Use OO.org's 'spadmin' to set up the PDF Converter printer, which
you can then use to directly create the PDF file within OO.org apps.
EPS file will properly render here.
Door number 2 is the option that I have chosen, now on FC4, when using
Writer.
Of course, there's always LaTeX... :-)
