Hi all, I'm trying from a while to display some eps images in a pdf book, but actually what happens is only like embedding them - it appears a blank space with different dimensions, where the images are supposed to be. And then I read this http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/graphics.html#eps EPS FOP provides support for two output targets: * PostScript (full support). * PDF (partial support). Due to the lack of a built-in PostScript interpreter, FOP can only embed the EPS file into the PDF. Acrobat Reader will not currently display the EPS (it doesn't have a PostScript interpreter, either) but it will be shown correctly when you print the PDF on a PostScript-capable printer. PostScript devices (including GhostScript) will render the EPS correctly. Other output targets can't be supported at the moment because FOP lacks a PostScript interpreter. Furthermore, FOP is not able to parse the preview bitmaps sometimes contained in EPS files. So, it's not possible to achieve what I'm trying, regarding to above mentioned. Am I right ? As a workaround the only one I got in mind is to convert eps images to gif, jpg. I will appreciate any suggestions, comments, help on the topic. Thanks in advance.
