midora Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 'PostScript' FileType Plugin (.PS, .EPS, .AI) Summary Imports .PS (PostScript) , .EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), and .AI (Adobe Illustrator) files and renders them to Paint.NET bitmap layers. This plugin requires that Ghostscript is installed. Ghostscript is used to render the vector graphics to bitmap layers. Sometimes the rendering of a layer takes a long time (especially for high resolution). Be patient 😉 Author Martin Osieka Download >> ImPS,EPS,AI.Open.FileType v1.0.zip Edit by Rick: @midora needs to update the installation instructions in the README. Download link removed for now. Installation Follow the instructions carefully Install Ghostscript: 64-bit or 32-bit The plugin has been tested with Ghostscript 9.10. If Paint.NET is running as an 64bit application then you have to install "Ghostscript for Windows (64 bit)" else the 32bit version. The plugin identifies the installed ghostscript version via the registry. If you are using the plugin w/o Ghostscript a messagebox will popup telling you that Ghostscript is required. Copy the two files OptionBasedLibrary vX.X.dll/.dlc to the Paint.NET\FileTypes\ folder Copy the two files 'ImPS,EPS,AI.Open.FileType.dll/dlc' to the Paint.NET\FileTypes\ folder Do not remove older versions of the OptionBasedLibrary if they are required from other plugins. To verify the installation you should restart Paint.NET and check that in the filetype popup of the open file selector dialog are entries starting with PS. EPS, and AI. Compatibility Paint.NET 3.5.11 and 4.0+ Supported languages The language used in the plugin depends on the language setting of Paint.NET and the support of this language by the plugin. The fallback is the first supported language of the plugin. Languages are defined in the .dlc files. This plugin supports the following languages in the moment: English Deutsch Dialog options tbd Known issues None Examples None History 1.0 (15.3.2014) - First public release 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYM Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is there an update to this post? I would like to download these plugins to open .eps, but it takes me to a blank page when I click the link and nothing downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePeoplesChampion Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks for the plug in! Just out of curiosity, is the any support for vectors with layers? The .eps files are coming out as a completely flat/1 layer image, when I import to PDN with your plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this plugin imports vectors as bitmaps. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandros93 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hi! Is there any way to install this in the UWP version of paint.net? I can't access a main PaintNet folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The paint.net sold in the Windows Store is not a UWP app, but yes, you can use plugins with it. https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html#4 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Alexandros93 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Yes, sorry. The fact is this extension requires the installation of plugins (OptionsBasedLibrary) in the main Paint.Net\ folder, not only the pasting the .dll and .dlc in /FileType. If I'm not mistaken the guide doesn't seem to cover this case for the store app. Edited December 14, 2018 by Alexandros93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to tell you that the older version of GhostScript you linked for us to use (v 9.26) worked vs the newer version on their site(v9.27) as I had the same issue as user "arashadmin" Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, you can't read the last few posts right above your own? Please take some more initiative next time. Anyways, this plugins uses the Ghostscript.NET library to interoperate with Ghostscript. Unfortunately, Ghostscript.NET is not fully compatible with the newest release of Ghostscript. You can see the relevant bug report here: https://github.com/jhabjan/Ghostscript.NET/issues/62 As a work-around, simply install Ghostscript v9.26.
