Hi there,

I am not sure if it is important to have an EPS-file. I think while exporting into EPS-files the text will be converted into drawing-paths. To avoid this it might be better to export into AI-files. When you open the AI-File you may be in the position to edit the text ...

Here you can read an extract from the Data Exchange Manual:

"... The disadvantage, however, is that interpreting this file is an extremely

time-consuming process, as PostScript is a highly complex language

which is more like a programming language than an graphic format in the

traditional sense of the word. PostScript should therefore only be used

when graphics are to be incorporated into a DTP program. This will ensure

high-quality results without the DTP program having to know what the

file actually contains, e.g. vector data or pixel data. ...

Restrictions apply when editing these placed files. You will not be able to

edit individual elements of an EPS file. ..."
