Re: Illustrator to Frame Question

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

The answer is that you can indeed save your Adobe Illustrator files
as .EPS files and maintain full content for editability. For recent
versions of Illustrator, though, make sure you select the option for
maintaining editability (produces larger EPS files, though ... the
editable object information is hidden in "comments" in the PostScript
stream).
