snlsd 1 Posted November 5, 2008 Is it possible to take a PDF to EPS? I need the CBM logo in black and blue. I don't need the "Bay Area Commercial Building Maintenance". I had a smaller jpeg, but the quality wasn't good enough to vectorize. BACBM Logo 06 04 08.pdf BACBM Logo 06 04 08.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snlsd 1 Posted November 6, 2008 Try this. Just import the EPS in signblazer and start cutting. You may have to flip the image if you don't want it to be reversed. deer.eps deer.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snlsd 1 Posted November 6, 2008 Download a program called Inkscape. It's free. Then read this: http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,8390.0.html These instructions are better than anything I could explain. Your logo was pretty easy compared to some stuff I've received from customers. Most of the time you can convert it using Inkscape. Others use graphics programs like Photoshop or Illustrator. Signblazer also has vectorizing abilities. Select your image, Click on "Image", then "Mode" and convert your gif, jpg, bmp to Monocrome. Then click on vectorize. You'll need to delete the original when you are done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snlsd 1 Posted November 7, 2008 if you are using signblazer, I think the vectorized one is blue. You can tell by selecting it and clicking on node edit. The bitmap image won't allow you to node edit. Delete the bitmap. Personally I've found inkscape to yield better results with vectorizing. Signblazer works well on the simple stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
