TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
EPS is an encapsulated PostScript file, a page description of something,
usually vector illustration but sometimes a bitmap. So, what do you need to
do with it?
You can use Adobe Acrobat to make a PDF of it. You can print the PDF to any
printer.
You can import it into a page layout, DTP, or word processing program . . .
though be aware you *need* a PostScript printer to print it. Plus, it must
have a built in bitmap preview for you to see it on-screen.
If you need to edit it, I recommend you use illustration software:
CorelDRAW!, Adobe Illustrator, and Macromedia Freehand. Otherwise, a bitmap
editor might do the job, possibly.
