Under 'File', at the top left of the screen, select 'Import'. Now that we have our image saved lets get started with a new file in inkscape. Right click on the image and select 'save image as' and select where on your computer you would like to save it. While its important to have eps import working for other files, I strongly advise against using the eps files from Ai, but instead import the. For good measure, I’ve also pushed the print quality up to 600 dpi, but it’s probably unnecessary. Once you find the image you want click on it. You need to ensure that you are printing to a file using the PrimoPDF printer, that you are doing it in black and white (something about colour is causing invalid EPS files), and under the “Advanced.” settings, “PostScript Options”, you want Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) as your “Postscript Output Option”. One that I’ve turned into a blog entry so in a year’s time, when I suspect a new supervisor may want a publication on what we did, I can reproduce this trick without re-walking the dead-end paths.įirstly, use PrimoPDF to print the diagram to an EPS file. Instead you, dear reader, get the winning approach. There were a lot of dead-end paths I tried to get a vector graphic EPS file of these UML diagrams that I won’t document here. Edit As suggested by Vladimir in comments, newer versions of inkscape doesn't have -E option, so need to replace it with -o. For a preference, the journal wants EPS files, given that they don’t pixelate when they are re-scaled. 2 Answers Sorted by: 51 The command I had to use to fix this problem was inkscape in.svg -E out.eps -export-ignore-filters -export-ps-level3 where in.svg is your image and out.eps is the eps that comes out. The resolution of the bitmapped files it produces fall way short of what the journal is willing to accept. The journal’s standards for graphical images represent a very high bar that Enterprise Architect can’t jump natively. A number of my pictures are UML diagrams, drawn in Enterprise Architect. I’m currently preparing a paper for journal submission.
