Not in any formal sense, no.
I didn't add that if clause Paul :-)
I'd never contemplated anything.pdf as a simple image. Document
with embedded image perhaps... Is this what people do?
I don't, but people do, yes. Obviously Camille does, or intends to,
for example. :-)
Camille, is this true?
Generate a .pdf file, simply to add as an image for another file?
Why (if you don't mind me asking)
Yes. but first:
<disclaimer>I'm not an image formats guru by any mean, all I state is
based on my limited experience producing documents.</disclaimer>
I don't embed PDF documents (various pages) in other PDF documents. I
just use the "export" function of diagram editors (inkscape, xfig, etc.)
to produce a "PDF", vector based version of the diagram.
While an EPS image will have a natural size specified by its bounding
box, remember that there's no quality lost in scaling. So don't think
of generating an EPS image at a fixed pixel size. It can be any size
you like.
Simple question, how does one generate an eps image please?
Linux or win32
with most diagram editors; export to EPS formats same as PDF.
Camille.
