i just finished a pcb layout in EAGLE but the final (eps export) result is without the holes.
So i opened it in Illustrator and i add some white circles for the holes.

How can i export this directly from EAGLE?

There should be a "holes" or drill holes layer in eagle was that enabled before export?

there is holes and drill layers but nothing appears

seems to work fine for me, using madbeans library, and exporting at 600dpi monochrome.

Can't post an image but it works normally not sure what might be causing your issue. I did have to remove the layer Tdocu

found it.
in the CAM processor window, where you export the file, there is a check box "Fill pads" that was checked.

unchecking it the holes come in place!

Thanks

Why use a cam?

Eagle can export directly to png

File -> export

Or print to a pdf-file.
Be shure to check or un-check the according layers (only vias, border & bottom layers - rest is not of any use for a pcb)
