Purpose:

Converts an Encapsulated PostScript file to a JDR file.

Limitations:

Jpgfdraw doesn't have anything like the functionality of PostScript, so there are many limitations. There are many PostScript commands that are either not implemented at all or only work in a limited way. If eps2jdr doesn't work on an EPS file, try using eps2eps on the EPS file and try on the output of that. However there is still no guarantee that it will work.

If eps2jdr can't implement a PostScript command, it will do one of the following:

1. Find the nearest approximation
2. Print a warning message and ignore the command (popping any operands off the stack where necessary)
3. Print an error message, and exit.

If the EPS file contains images (via the image or colorimage operators), each image will be extracted and saved as a PNG file with name <basename><n>.png, where <basename> is the basename of the output JDR file, unless the -bitmap option was used.

Font substitutions may occur, but you can create a PostScript to LaTeX font map in Jpgfdraw's configuration directory¹. To do this, use your favourite text editor to create a file called psfontmap. Each line must be in the form:

<PostScript font name>=<Family declaration>,<Series declaration>,<Shape declaration>

The PostScript font name may be a regular express. For example:

.*obliquebold=,\bfseries,\slshape
