exporting an eps from x4

[Otto Peltonen]

Not familiar with versaworks, but; select all in x4, export as eps and choose "selected only" when exporting, maybe that helps?

thats how i am doing it Otto but when i bring it into versawroks it comes in as a blank page and roughly A4 size ?? but when i open it in cs4 and save as eps again it opens fine in versa works???

George,

I don’t use X4, but in X3 when you get the secondary ‘EPS export’ window pop up (make sure that ‘do not show filter dialog’ is turned off in the primary window which is where you write the file name), click on the ‘advanced’ tab and ensure that ‘bounding box’ is on ‘objects’ rather than ‘page’.

Hope it’s of help

George that is how it is set up but for some reason versa works does not take it???

[Michael Szwacki]

Did you tried make a page that size what you need as well then export selected all ?

I remember in older corel version it was issue with exporting to pdf

[George Elsmore]

Tried that as well Michael 😕

Postscript has limitations and the higher the level there are less limitations, primarily this is the number of points and drawing objects and how it handles transparencies. It does also depend on the import filters of the receiving program and their compatibility. Fonts can also trip things up, generally when I export I make the drawing as simple as possible ie flatten transparencies, don’t have too many combined objects and convert text to curves at export time. If you are using a print based method of producing pdf of postscript file deselect the ‘download fonts and convert truetype to type1 option under the postscript tab and text will be converted to curves when you print – saves doing it on the drawing.
