Before you begin
- Keep SVG masters even after EPS delivery is created.
- EPS is useful when a receiving workflow explicitly requires it.
- Modern SVG effects and transparency may not map one-to-one into EPS.
- A successful save does not replace visual validation.
Manual conversion for a small set
Manual processing suits a small set or a rule that has not been tested yet.
- Open the SVG in Illustrator.
- Fit the artboard to visible artwork if that is the delivery rule.
- Save a copy as EPS without replacing the SVG.
- Reopen the EPS and compare bounds, text, effects, and appearance.
Quality checks before delivery
Open representative outputs and review the actual vector or raster file at the size and in the application that matters.
- Text appearance and font handling
- Clipping masks and artwork bounds
- Transparency and effects
- Spot colors or other production-specific color expectations
Troubleshooting
Keep the source unchanged while you diagnose a failed file. Other files in the batch can continue.
- If an SVG does not open correctly in Illustrator, fix or replace that source before batch conversion.
- If effects change, simplify or expand them deliberately in a separate preparation workflow.
- If page bounds are wrong, inspect visible artwork and clipping in the source.
Workflow
Batch workflow in AZTER
Start the batch after grouping the source files and defining the output.
- 01
Place verified SVG files in one source folder.
- 02
Choose SVG as the selected source format and EPS as the output.
- 03
Choose a different output folder in AZTER.
- 04
Run the conversion.
- 05
Open representative EPS files in the application that will receive them.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I test every batch on a small set first?
Yes. Use representative files, including at least one difficult example, before applying one rule to a large folder.
Does AZTER change the source files?
No. AZTER uses separate source and output folders. If an output name already exists, AZTER adds a number. It replaces an existing file only when you enable Overwrite.
What happens if one file fails?
The failure is reported and ordinary per-file failures do not stop the rest of the batch. Review the completion summary and handle the exception separately.
