bradleym2004 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 When I import an EPS file into Publisher I'm not able to convert it curves (and then ungroup its elements). "Convert to curves" is greyed out? Will this feature be added in the future? PagePlus has been able to do this for years. It was so useful.

I think this is due to the fact that the EPS file is a container. Double click on it an see if it opens in a new tab. There you should have access to the EPS' elements as vector objects. You can copy them and paste them in your document. Afterwards you can delete the imported EPS file. d.

bradleym2004 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 You're right. It is possible to open the container, then copy and paste the individual elements back into the document using this method. Bit clunky though. This could so easily be added as an option to the context menu when right clicking on an EPS. Just like it was in the old PagePlus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleym2004 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Really? I use it literally every day in PagePlus - it never fails to work for me. Import an EPS, convert it to curves and manipulate the elements. Anyhow - you've shown me a way to achieve it in Publisher, so I'm happy. Many thanks Dominik. dominik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
