Convert PPM to EPSF

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.

An EPSF, or Encapsulated PostScript File, is a graphics file format used primarily in the publishing and printing industries for embedding high-resolution images within other PostScript documents. Introduced by Adobe Systems in the late 1980s, EPSF files enable seamless integration of complex visual elements, maintaining quality and device independence. They encapsulate both vector and raster graphics, allowing detailed illustrations and photographs to be embedded without loss of resolution, facilitating professional-quality output across various platforms and devices.
