Embed Fonts (Windows only)
Select this option to embed fonts in the file, so text can appear as
intended if the required fonts arent available.
Use Page Dimensions
Select this option to save the full area of the document page, sheet,
slide, or frame in the EPS file. If this option is not selected, the EPS
graphic will be only as large as the saved objects.
Converting EPS objects
After you import an EPS file, you can choose options from the con-
text menu to convert the object or view information about it.
You can view linking information if the file was imported as an
EPSF reference. If the file was imported as an EPSF object, you can
convert it to an EPSF reference. If it was imported as an EPSF object,
you can create Canvas objects from it.
To use EPSF Object commands: Select the EPS graphic and
Ctrl+click (Mac) or right-click (Windows). In the context menu,
choose one of the options described below.
Convert EPSF into Canvas Objects
If you choose to create Canvas
objects from an EPSF object, the EPSF object is replaced in the doc-
ument by equivalent Canvas objects. Depending on the contents of
the original EPS file, you might not be able to edit some objects as
you expect after the conversion. For example, you would not be able
to edit text if the EPS file contained outlines (paths) for text charac-
ters, rather than the characters themselves; you could use path-editing
techniques to edit the objects.
Embed EPSF Into Document
If an EPS graphic has been imported
with the Place EPSF Reference option, you can use the context menu
to convert the graphic from a linked EPS graphic to an EPS graphic
that is placed in the document. The result is the same as importing an
EPS file and selecting Create EPSF Object.
EPSF Info
You can get information from an EPS graphic if it was
imported with the Place EPSF Reference option. Canvas will display
information on the location of the EPS file that is linked into the doc-
ument. If the file cant be found in its original location, Canvas dis-
plays a message. To re-link the file, click File, and use the directory
dialog box to select the EPS file. Then, click OK in the message box.
