  • Checking files
    • It's possible to also check Postscript-based files for things like fonts used and color scheme
    • EPS is a text-readable file -- so you can get details about the document from the document itself
    • For example, in Adobe Illustrator EPS files, the EPS file contains comments with information
    • Inside of Illustrator EPS files, you can get information about what fonts are needed finding the line beginning with %%DocumentNeededFonts
    • Other information includes color information, document information, the width and height the bounding box
    • All of this information can be used to check what you *think* the file is supposed to be, with what it is.
    • Very handy when dealing with lots of files!
