Both of these file types are quite inaccessible and tough to convert so there’s unfortunately no third party software to automate this process. That being said, it can be done with some extra steps and some creativity. The first thing you’ll need to do is realize that the path from EPS to INDD is not going to happen. However, when you include a different image file, it becomes possible to get from EPS to INDD. For example, if we first convert the EPS to the JPG image file and then convert the JPG to INDD, we’ve made our conversion in a roundabout way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally then, we need to learn how to convert the EPS to different file types in order to complete the entire process. We’ll use JPG again. First, convert the EPS to JPG using a converter.

Now that you have a JPG file, you need to open it within InDesign. To do this, launch InDesign and create a new document. Then under ‘File’ select ‘Place’ and import the JPG. Place the image inside the document and then save the new file.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-38960\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F12\u002F19192910\u002Fconvert-eps-to-indd-3.jpg\" alt=\"A bunch of particles floating together.\" class=\"wp-image-38960\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F12\u002F19192910\u002Fconvert-eps-to-indd-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F12\u002F19192910\u002Fconvert-eps-to-indd-3-450x253.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F12\u002F19192910\u002Fconvert-eps-to-indd-3-768x432.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The entire conversion process is lengthy and has extra steps.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-5--how-to-reverse-convert-indd-to-eps\">How to reverse convert (INDD to EPS)\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were quite a few steps required to make our conversion.
