Hi,

I am trying to install the WMF2EPS printer at Windows 7 (64 bits) but
I am not having success since the system is 64-bit. I have tried a
similar approach as described in http://blog.schappy.de/archive/2007/04/29/wmf2eps-for-vista/
but the Windows 7 does not executes the generic postscript drivers,
downloaded from the adobe page.

The problem is that I am used to produce my files in WMF and then
convert them to EPS to handle with the psfrag.sty. I can generate in
PNG format, but I will loose the modifications (quite helpful) with
the psfrag.

Does anyone have a solution for one of the problems below:

1) installing wmf2eps printer at Windows 7 64-bit?
2) freeware converter from wmf/emf to eps?
3) package for handling png files as for eps (psfrag.sty)?

Any help is quite welcome.

Best regards

Instead of WMF2EPS I use now Metafile2EPS. It comes with LyX (which
I do not use) but can also be downloaded as a separate app.

Don't know if it will work in W7.

Hope this helps, best regards.
