Frequently asked questions
Why convert a PDF to EPS?
EPS is Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript vector format used for logos, illustrations and print artwork, so the conversion is useful for placing PDF page content into print and design workflows. PDF and EPS share a common PostScript heritage, which makes the vector content transfer well.
Does EPS keep the PDF's vector quality?
Yes, vector elements in the PDF stay as scalable vectors in EPS rather than being rasterized, so line art and text edges remain sharp at any size. Transparency, however, may be flattened because classic EPS does not support it.
What can open an EPS file?
EPS opens in vector editors such as Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator, and in GIMP; the free tools generally rely on Ghostscript being installed. Note that Microsoft Office has blocked EPS images since 2017 for security reasons.
How are multi-page PDFs handled?
EPS is designed to encapsulate a single graphic, so a conversion generally corresponds to one page rather than a whole multi-page document. Interactive PDF features like links and form fields are not carried into EPS.
