: Saving an image created in MS Word as .eps I have created an image in MS Word using the Shapes tools, so on my hands is a .docx (or at best .pdf) file. Now I have to have an .eps file

@Angela777

Inkscape on a macbook can save as eps. Open whatever image, png, etc., in inkscape, then 'File' --> 'Save As' and the 'save as' window pops up. Click on the box above the 'Save' button and a huge list of output formats comes up. One of them is eps. Been using this for several years now ever since Illustrator went to their monthly licensing scheme. It's not too often that I take an image from ppt or word and convert, but I do recall having issues with image quality. One quick and dirty solution I used as a deadline approached was to use the mac 'Grab' app. I think it comes installed. Grab saves the image as a tiff file, and the quality is surprisingly good. Then import the tiff into Inkscape and save as eps with 300 dpi resolution. Will be good enough for a report or paper.

If you right click on the image in linux you may get save graphics option. There save format is there. You can select encapsulated postscript. At least in Ubuntu 12.04 I can see this.

To save an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file from a page in your publication, you will need to use a color PostScript printer driver. If you don’t have a color PostScript printer, you can set up the Generic Color PS for Commercial Printing printer driver.

Set up the Generic Color PS for Commercial Printing color printer driver.


ShowWindows 2000

ShowWindows XP


On the File menu, click Print.
Under Printer, select Generic Color PS for Commercial Printing.
Select Print to file.
Click Properties, and then click Advanced.
Under printer name Advanced Document Settings, expand Document Options, and then expand PostScript Options.
Click next to PostScript Output Option, choose Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) from the drop-down menu, and then click OK twice to return to the Print dialog box.
Under Print range, type the range for the single page you want to save as an EPS file. For example, to save page 2 as an EPS file, type “2” in the From box, and then type “2” in the To box.
Click Advanced Print Settings.
For Output, select Composite CMYK, and then click OK.
In the Print dialog box, click OK to print.
In the Print to file dialog box, select a location to save the EPS file to, and then type a name for your file. Be sure to use the filename extension .eps.
Click Save.

I know some guy that used WordToLatex converter for the task described.

I am not using Word anymore, however probably this tutorial will help you to achieve your goals.
