Chris Franken Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I need to export designer vectors to the eps-format. The problem is: The source document is in pixels (px). When i expert to eps, the eps-file is in points (pt), but i need in pixel. I can open the eps and change it from pt to px, but when i then want to save it, i can just save an .designer file and i am back to where i came from. Is there a solution to it? Am i missing something?? Thnx for help!*! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The default coordinate system unit in EPS is always "points" (72 points = 1 inch = 25.4 mm) and (1 px = 0.75 pt). - So if a document or image is 72 ppi (pixels per inch), then one point will be equal one pixel here.

Chris Franken Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 v_kyr, you make me feel ashamed : ) Thank you for answering such a stupid question. As a photographer i am too new to this vector-stuff, but i love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 No problem, some file formats can be puzzling at first. EPS comes and takes over traditionally from Postscript and thus behaves a lot like that. Though nowadays PDF has mostly replaced those EPS/PS formats in overall usage.

Chris Franken Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Mmhm, ok. As i need an eps for the client, i now do have the next problem. I want to export an artboard with 5000by5000px. The result i do get is an eps with just 1200by1200px. How is that to explain? I choose the artboard, then export as an eps for export (not for print/web...).

MikeW Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 How are you determining it is 1200 px ? If you are opening it back into AD, the measurement units will be in points. If so, open the document setup and change the units to pixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Franken Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Oh oh, you are so right, MikeW. It is in pt. I still don´t know how to solve my problem, but i will think about and hopefully find out. Otherwise i will ask again ... Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
