Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer and EPS images.

There may be a newer and cleaner way to distribute your drawing If your 
willing to spend a little time with HTML5
From Inkscape save as "plain svg"
Create html page using "object"
 <object type="image/svg+xml" data="your_file_here.svg"></object>
Don't forget to set size of image (haven't done this myself, but it is 
HTML code to tell what size the svg should open at.)
Use Firefox to test webpage.

At that point you can distribute to any place there is a FireFox browser.

Others will be able to use InkScape to modify original file.  I am not 
sure about password file locking.

There are plenty of examples of how to do this on the web. Take a look 
at http://www.sitepoint.com/add-svg-to-web-page/

I have not done a full comparison between the original InkScape and 
FireFox images. It does seem to work well.
I have not tested in other browsers.
I have not tested printing from FireFox.

Hope this helps.
