No. What is the intention behind your question? You can print to file with a Postscript driver to get something similar to EPS.

Especially because PNG export has a much worse quality than export from all other programs like Illustrator CC, CorelDRAW. I have reported this as a bug. To date, this has not been improved.

Andy05 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 You can't embed fonts into an EPS files unless you ignore the specifications (i. e. like Corel does or Illustrator, which often embeds full own, propitiatory commands into EPS files which can't be rendered correctly by other software than Adobe's). EPS files are final-form print files, that don't know anything about i. e. the printer or app which they will be used for. If they have specific needs, such as patterns or fonts, they need to be added separately to the printer or app for proper rendering.

Which PDF preset? X-4 + Nothing Rasterise + No JPG Compression + Embed Fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
