Illustrator and psfrag

Posted on 22 Nov 2010

If you have problems with Illustrator and PSfrag, that’s probably because you can’t have psfrag replace tags with more than one character, once you saved the EPS with Illustrator. I think I found the solution, at least using CS5, and if the file is not too complicated. When saving the EPS, choose for Version the Illustrator 3 EPS. In this way you’ll be able to replace tags with more than one character.
