The link to EPS specification has gone bad. Does anyone have another link, please? I particularly want to know about "rasterization" mentioned during the export dialogue.
Also, with regards to exporting to an eps file, is there any way to export just selected objects or a group of objects?
If the size in mm of my image is larger or smaller than the image will be, when the eps file is incorporated in another document, is there any down side to that? Could the image quality in the other document degrade in any way? Assume there is no bitmap image involved. Should I strive to generate an image which is as close as possible to what the image size will be in this final document, before I export to eps? I want this conversion process to be lossless.
EPS can contain bitmap info, but if it has only vectors... by definition it is lossless. Some svg features like filters, masks and some transparencies are not directly translated to eps, so those can be rasterized on export, or ignored.

Thanks for your help.

OK thank you. It would seem to be much simpler, to find out what resolution is required, and then export PNG.
