Hi,
I am a completely new user and I installed inkscape mainly to manipulate postscript files. The installation was done with inkscape-0.42.2.x86.package on suse 9.0. My problem is that I can't seem to be able to import .ps files doing "File -> Import " and setting the filter to "All files". Inkscape tells me that it is unable to load the (.ps) file I choose.
Hi, inkscape is a very powerfull graphic editor, but it can't import ps and eps files, I think it's due to the copyright covering the Ps Adobe format :-)
Actually there's no issues with copyright, it's just that no one's implemented the right code in Inkscape yet.
However, here's a technique I worked out last weekend: Use pstopdf (or another ps->pdf converter) to convert it to a PDF, then load it into Scribus and save as SVG. You can then load it into Inkscape. However, there will be some losses; for example, the text gets converted into curves so becomes non-editable. :-/
We've talked to the Scribus developers to hopefully work out a simpler and superior conversion process when using scribus with inkscape to do this. Others have also been looking into other EPS/PS/PDF conversion tools to see what else can be done. There's a huge amount of discussion about this lately; I'm hopeful some good solutions come as a result.
