TIFF to PS, EPS

This page shows how to convert a TIFF image x.tiff to PS or EPS.

There is no bitmap to vector conversion in this process. Bitmap image data is just re-packaged into the EPS format.

When converting TIFF files to PS/EPS you can produce the following output types:

  • image
    If the TIFF file contains an alpha channel, opacity data is used to mix foreground colour against a background colour. This is the default.
  • document
    The image is resized and probably rotated to fit a specified paper size. All frames of the TIFF file are shown in output.

Choice 1: Use gxhconvert

Procedure

gxhconvert -o=eps x.tiff

or

gxhconvert -o=ps -d --paper=A4 x.tiff

Options

Option Purpose
-d
--document		 Produce a document instead of an object, fit output to a paper size.
--paper=paper String, paper format name for documents. Only available if the -d option is used.
Default: A4.

Choice 2: Manual conversion, image

bitmap2pp -l eps x.tiff

Choice 4: Manual conversion, produce document

bitmap2pp -l ps.document,paper=A4 x.tiff
