Importing EPS to PDF with Ghostscript looses the grouping

Hi,
I used Ghostscript to import a EPS to a PDF file and the grouping EPS file has seem to be loosing while generating the PDF. Can someone let me know whether the grouping can be retrained? I would like to know whether the "grouping" "ungrouping" is a specific feature in Illustrator which can't be retrained.
The following are the links to the EPS and PDF file for your reference.
Dropbox - survivor book.eps
Dropbox - survivor_book.pdf
If the grouping can indeed be retained while converting with Ghostscript, please let me know how to do the same.
Or if there are other ways to convert to PDF using which the grouping can be retained, let me know the same too.
Thanks,
Leena

Sorry for the confusion, I will explain more about the relation between Illustrator and Ghostscript. I am working on a web application which allows the users to create designs which can be used for custom printing. The application allows the user to upload EPS files as artworks, add custom text etc and in the end the generates a PDF which will be shared with the printer.
We are using Ghostscript for importing the EPS files and creating the final PDF file which includes the uploaded artwork(s) and any text(s) the user has added.
Now the problem that we've faced while importing the EPS file using Ghostscript is that, it removes the "grouping" that was present in the EPS file while converting to the PDF file. So my question was whether you can help me by giving some pointers to retain the group by using tools such as Ghostscript. Please let me know the appropriate forum where I can ask similar questions.
I had asked this question in Ghostscript forum but didn't get a clear answer.
Thanks,
Leena

Is it possible to import disc at once with markers to the tracks?

I now have to import my cd's twice. Once, so I have access to all the tracks and once for the disc at once. All I want is to be able to play the album like a CD. Listen to the thing as a whole and have access to each track if I wish. Why can't apple add this simple application to itunes? It would free up so much hard drive space. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Fatbrando,
"Is it possible to import disc at once with markers to the tracks?"
No, it's not.
But if you are trying to get gapless playback from something like a continuously mixed dance CD you could try this.
Chec Crossfade playback in iTunes>Preferences>Playback and then setting the slider to 0 yields pretty good results. Not perfect, but pretty good.
This will only effect playback in iTunes, not CDs you burn from iTunes.

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Import eps or pdf as image

Hi everybody:
Anybody know how to import eps or pfd files into a pdf document, onto an existing page? as an image, not as a page?

Does that work in Acrobat Adobe Pro XI? That is what I use and it does not want to do it. Maybe there is a setting or function that needs to be turned on?

Re-import CD's into iTunes & not loose the info...

it's official : i'm definitely an idiot !!
my problem is that i've imported circa 750 CD's into iTunes, some of which iTunes got hold of artist's names & album/song titles - but many it didn't & i had to type these...big effort since i'm awful at it !
started listening to music & not wanting to sound like a pretentious, hair splitting ''audiophile maniac'' type, fact is it's coming out at a lesser quality than my stereo has gotten me used to.
tried playing songs simultaneously in iTunes & my CD player - changing between both at the amp's line in selector.. - & it does sounds pretty bad....
searched forums for answers & .... ended up stumbling on this iTunes >preferences>import settings where iTunes allows the obvious !...
great , this means i can get it to full audio quality - space isn't really an issue since i bought a 1TB W.D My Book for my music & will buy more if necessary...but my trouble is this : how can i re-import ALL of my CD's without loosing the info i got/typed, artwork etc...?? what audio format/settings will be the very best possible ? aiff, wav ? any help will be greatly appreciated
forgive me the length of this msg but....i thank you all
Nuno

Hi C !
& thanks 4 pointing me in the right direction. checking the iTunes forum thoroughly will be my homework for today - i might even learn something !!...LOL...
i'm 49 years ''young'', this is my 1st computer & it's an exciting, thrilling even if sometimes frustrating experience learning all this new stuff. everyday i try to understand/assimilate something new, that keeps me going.
overall it's very exhilarating & reading this forum is great help

Importing photos not taken with iPhone on the Mac

Hello everyone,
I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
Thanks,
Beto.

You cannot import photos from the iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer via the iTunes sync process with a PC or a Mac. Photos transferred from a computer via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPhone. Photos transferred from a computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on the iPhone, which is why the transfer of these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are a number of other ways to transfer the full resolution photos from one computer to another.

How can I export a group email address to a .csv file. I can export the whole address book but it looses the group listings.

I have an address book in Thunderbird and want to export one group listing to a .csv file. I couldn't find a way of exporting one group so exported the whole address book then opened the .csv file and was going to remove the all addresses except the group but the group name was not in the file.
Is it possible to export the group listing.
Thanks
Ron

Open Address Book, select the mailing list in the left pane, then Tools/Export, select csv (comma separated) format, name the file, click Save.

When I email an interactive PDF with Page Turn, the receiver opens a blank PDF document.

Hi there,
I am trying to create a digital lookbook for my client. Similar to the one here: http://www.cabionline.com/collection/look-book/
I've created the PDF in Indesign CS6. I exported as a .swf. Then I placed it back into Indesign and exported it as an interactive PDF. I can view the document on my computer and it works fine. But it won't work for anyone that I send it to.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

This is the forum for Adobe Contribute. I'm not sure how that is involved with this issue.

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for your reply. It worked fine with 8.63 version.
Is there any other way to get it worked with out installing ghostscript.exe as the client doesnt want to instal any exe file on the server as it has broader impact on other instances also, can we acheive the conversion by copying the extracted zip files of ghostscript-8.63.tar.gz .....

How can I sync my iPhone music to my new Mac with out loosing my the music I already have in the phone?

Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac. How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.

If your on a new computer is there a way to sync with your iphone to put music on the computer with out loosing whats on phone and making a restore cd off old computer

new computer trying to import music from iphone with out loosing it. or having to make restore cds

Import EPS files? Plugin?

I can export EPS to maintain vector data, but can I import EPS files, while maintaining vector data?
If not, is there any way to open vector data in Photoshop?
A plug-in?

Photoshop cannot import the paths in general. If you copy paths from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop, we can convert the AICB data to Photoshop paths. If you place or open a file, Photoshop can't do that (it can't handle general case EPS or PDF paths).
But placing an EPS or PDF file will retain the vector nature, so you can resize, rotate, color convert, etc. the content without losing the vector quality. That was added with the Smart Objects feature a while back.
