Is there a way to convert a file from EPS format into a graphic file which cna be imported into Aldus PageMaker? I am using a copy of PageStream v.1.8 which was given to me by a friend, but I can only export the files in EPS format and I need to be able to translate a graphic file into an importable file which can be viewed from within PageMaker. Is there a conversion util. which can accomplish this? Any input would be much appreciated!!

Jim, Offhand, I don't know. You might try asking your question in the DTP section in AmigaUser Forum — you'll probably get better response there.

Jim; No you can not do the export… Soft-Logic will presumably do the export modules some day but for now… An Amiga message processed by Whap!, bill

Aldus PageMaker will import an EPS file. If the EPS file has a bitmap preview, that's what you'll see in the box. Otherwise, the graphic box in PageMaker will just be an 'X'. What makes you think you can't import EPS into PageMaker?

John– Do you know of anyway to attatch the bitmap preview? It seems that, with ADPro, Post, or some other collection of tools, this sort of thing should be a viable possibility… Jonathan – via Whap!

You'd really need a program to do it, it involves adding a short binary header, plus a trailer of a TIFF image. You can't simply "JOIN" an EPS file and a TIFF preview. I don't know of such a program, either PD or commercial.

John– Sounds like an itch waiting to be scratched…at one of the NYC shows, I saw several people at the ASDG booth asking for that feature in a future incarnation of ADPro. I was one. Jonathan – via Whap!

Jim Does PageMaker not allow EPS files to be imported? As for using a copy of Pagestream given to you by a friend … does that mean it is a pirate (i.e. illegal) copy? Mike (Whapping from the UK)
