This article is about converting multiple EPS files to PDFs on Windows and Mac Operating Systems.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a standard graphics format used in vector graphics.

Some of the common vector graphic objects we know are drawings, logos, images, maps, and page layouts. The quality of an EPS file is affected once the file is sent to a machine that does not support the format.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is the best option to go for when you want to share files since it is independent of Operating systems, Hardware, and Software.
