To install in Ubuntu/Linux Mint, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils This is easily achieved with epstopdf which relies on the text-font-utils package. But for now, let me introduce the tools we will be using for the conversions. I’ll be showing you how to do easy command line batch conversions using a simple bash script. Take some time to understand what the commands do. Don’t just blindly enter commands from forums. The command line is your friend, but definitely exercise caution. Linux newcomers tend to get a bit scared of the command line. File Conversions using Command Line Tools Check out the video at the end of this post for a quick demo. You can also export the file out as a PDF. Or simply drag the file into the Inkscape window. You can use Inkscape to import EPS and AI files. To install Xreader in Ubuntu/Linux Mint, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install xreader I tested this on a few files and it seems to work without any issues.

EPS and AI files can be opened using the pre-installed Xreader (Document Viewer) app. I am running Linux Mint 18.3 (XFCE Edition).

In addition, we will also cover basic conversions into PDF. In this post, I am going to show you a few different ways of viewing EPS and AI files. I used to encounter issues with viewing these files in a native Linux application. HTTPS would work, and the community could more easily help you maintain this Please feel warmly invited to improve the ImageJ wiki’s section on file formats with information as you discover it.I constantly work with EPS and AI files in my Printing and Promotional Merchandising Business ( Event Elves). You’re welcome to try it and report back here with your findings! (As an aside to any people reading this involved in BioEmergences development: I wish you would document things on the wiki instead, so that e.g. But I have not personally tried doing this.įor VTK format, based on a quick web search, apparently the BioEmergences update site supports opening and saving VTK format, although the linked document is years old and I don’t know whether this update site is actively maintained or whether it works. You could try converting EPS to PNG using ImageMagick, or converting EPS to SVG using Inkscape, then importing the result into ImageJ/Fiji. (You can export EPS from Fiji, but not import AFAIK.)ĮPS is a vector format similar to SVG but older. I’m afraid that ImageJ and Fiji do not, to my knowledge, support importing EPS nor VTK formats.
