Philippe, It would be better to export a PDF rather than an EPS, if the software you’re using supports that, because PDFBox can easily add existing PDFs to a page as graphics.
Converting an EPS to a PNG isn’t a great idea because you’re converting vector graphics into raster graphics, but PDF is a vector format, so you’re really loosing the advantage of using PDF, i.e. vector graphics will never be pixelated. -- John > On 12 Nov 2014, at 02:14, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi John, > > I have exported an EPS image to a 2000 DPI PNG using Inkscape,converted the > PNG to a 100%-quality JPG using Gimp, and then added the JPG image as a 300 x > 27 pixel PDJpeg to a PDPage.
