Set parameters for export to PostScript Level 2 EPS

In "EPS export", the following parameters can be set:

1. "PostScript Language Level": use Language Level 2 for maximum compatibility with older PostScript systems.
2. "Simulate overprinting" should only be checked for sending output directly to color laser printers or inkjet printers.
3. "Add marks" are left off in most cases.
4. "Page range – Start page / End page": this parameter is enabled for multiple page PDFs. It is possible to create EPS files for only some of the pages in the PDF.
5. "Execute" allows to define a folder where the exported EPS files shall be saved.
