Hi,

I have a requirement to be able to draw EPS files from Adobe Illustrator on
WinForms using C#. Any idea how I achieve this? is there an SDK or a
commercial component that can do this?

Thanks

EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript, and there's a GNU tool called
GhostScript that can work with it very well. On CodeProject there's an
article that describes how to use the GhostScript DLL, and actually how to
interface it with GDI+ - the major downside is that it's for C++. I would
use this as a starting point however, as I'm sure that the API calls won't
be too hard to translate.
