Instead, the LaTex centric ‘dvisvgm’, does an excellent conversion to SVG, but requires a LaTex environment, e.g. Personally I don’t do this with Inkscape or Scribus. That is the only internal LibreOffice support for EPS as vector.Įxternally conversion to EMF, or SVG and then placement into document is viable. Also the “freeware” pstoedit is crippled and for reasonable EMF results requires the paid EMF plugin activation license. It requires both pstoedit and ghostsript helper programs be installed. Internally look at the ieps.cxx import filter, you’ll see we can use the external pstoedit helper program to convert from EPS to EMF. Any ideas? I can contribute by writing a bug report and keeping it alive by vehemently refusing any bitmap “solutions”. I am forced to work with Windows 10, but at least I am allowed to install nearly anything necessary.

Meta Bug 113333 offers no satisfaction either.Bug 67464 has last update from 2017 and no solution.

The only solution offered was the unusable bitmap conversion. This question has been stated before, too.(eps2pdf renders only to a bitmap image, exactly like it did back in 1992.) Unfortunately I did not manage to convert vector EPS into any other kind of vector image, e.g. But that is not the correct solution: bitmap vector image. I know of the workaround of converting the EPS into a bitmap image and then importing it.(I remember Windows version of PageMaker 4 had the same issue back in 1992.) Currently only the placeholder with metadata (text) is imported.

(Feature? Proprietary limitation? Curse for wanting to use precise, scalable graphics?) I have used Google and read the help files, but it appears to me this is an old and forgotten bug.Bitmap conversion is not an option for obvious reasons, and I can’t buy Illustrator. I want to import a vector graphics image and edit it as a vector graphics image.
