Using Images
Notes on Some Image Formats
If layouts created on a Windows platform (using ORIS PDF Tuner or
ORIS Works) are processed with the Macintosh version of ORIS PDF
Tuner, the image path names are only translated into Macintosh syntax
if UNC names were used instead of network drive letters when the images
were placed on the layout.
Example: \\server\images\winter instead of Y:\winter.
In both cases it is important that the server names or network drive letters,
respectively, are identical on the Macintosh and Windows platform.
Notes on Some Image Formats
About EPS and DCS Files
EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript. EPS files may contain a preview
image in addition to the PostScript data. A preview is a low-resolution
TIFF image required for representing the file on the screen.
Most DTP programs are able to import EPS files and use them on the
layout, which is not possible with PostScript final pages. However, the
contents of an EPS file cannot be modified.
DCS stands for Desktop Color Separation, i.e. EPS files with separated
data. ORIS PDF Tuner supports DCS 1.0 (multiple files) and DCS 2.0
(single file and multiple files). ‘Multiple files’ means four files containing
the separated data and a master file referencing the separation files.
The master file may contain a TIFF preview image as well as a composite
version of the file contents used for output on color printers. The TIFF
preview can be used for page assembly.
‘Image EPS’ and ‘Page EPS’ Files
When working with ORIS PDF Tuner you must distinguish two types of
EPS files which are hereafter referred to as Image EPS and Page EPS
files.
Image EPS files contain only one single image. Such files are created
e.g. in ORIS PDF Tuner by saving an image in EPS format or by image
editing programs such as Photoshop. Image EPS files can be used in
ORIS PDF Tuner like any other image.
Page EPS files are EPS files containing not just one image but several
elements. Such files are created e.g. by converting ORIS PDF Tuner layouts
to EPS format (EXPORT function). ORIS PDF Tuner allows you to
display only the preview of a Page EPS file.
