 EPS format output |

I'd like to to known if EPS format output will be implemented, in the near future.
SVG have been added to ChartDirector, but unfortunatly, since Acrobat 9, SVG cannot
be added into PDF anymore.
So it would be nice to have EPS, since EPS can still be inserted into a PDF file. |

Hi Nong,
We are still not sure if EPS will be supported in the next major version of ChartDirector, but it is likely that PDF will be supported. You should be able to insert PDF into another PDF.
Unluckily, the next major version will not be available within this year. In the mean time, if your system cannot support SVG directly, I am worried you would need to use a third party utility that can convert SVG to the file format your system can support, or to use raster image formats (PNG, JPEG, etc).

"It is likely that PDF will be supported. You should be able to insert PDF into another PDF."
Hi,
This is great news. Should you consider PDF as a format format for output, we'd be glad to hear whether you intend to implement it in some way that would allow for proper text display.
We certainly can find ways around currently to embed png with pdf using external libraries. But none that allow texts embedded in the charts to get text as sharp vectors. Increasing point density within chartdirector is a poor solution!
Do you intend to use a process similar to the one you used for SVG including the use of "enableVectorOutput" for arbitration between vectorial and raster output? |

Hi Daniel,
The PDF support will be like the SVG support - with complete vector graphics, including the text.
In the next major version, we may make the enableVectorOutput unnecessary. Vector output will always be enabled no matter you call enableVectorOutput or not. The enableVectorOutput method will have no effect but will be maintained for backwards compatibility.
