I am trying to change some text inside some figures of extension .EPS using the package psfrag. Unfortunately, one of the software which I am using to prepare these figures, the cad CATIA, has not an EPS output (only DXF, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG, JPG, TIFF, etc...). Then, I saved the figure as pdf and I converted the obtained file to EPS using Adobe Acrobat. But psfrag does not seem to work on this final file.
The other software that I am using, SigmaPlot, has an EPS output, however psfrag cannot operate neither on this output. It seems that there are different EPS formats, or codes maybe, and the ones that I get are not usable by psfrag. I have read a lot of posts on this argument thus excuse me please if this is yet another duplicate of things already explained. I have to confess however that I have not really understood the answers provided, probably because I am a beginner on Latex.
Then, I would like to ask: are there different EPS formats? How can I get the one usable by psfrag? From which file is better to pass, I mean it is better to generate first a PDF and then convert this in EPS, or maybe it is better to have firstly a JPG? How can I obtain the EPS from the firstly-generated file? Or in alternative, what is the best way to handle this problem in Latex. Many thanks in advance
psfrag
work at all, i.e. with another EPS file? Maybe first try this, to make sure the error really stems from the other EPS files.
