[cairo] eps file

[Paolo Chiodi]

Hi all, i'm new to this mailing list and to cairo graphics.
I need to develop an application that creates a pdf by importing some
vector images from eps file.
I've tried some tools but none succesfully (usually the tools i've
tried need to rasterize the image, others generate bad page layout).
My last idea was to use cairo with pdf surface to create my pdf
document. then my question is: can cairo imports eps image? does it
rasterize the image or keep it vector-based?

thank you and sorry for my bad english
Paolo
