Cannot place eps file "no filter found for requested operation"

I have two compuers running CS3. One computer can place .eps files into an InDesign document with no problem. The other computer tries to place an .eps file into InDesign and they get "no filter found for requested operation." It is able to place .jpegs, pdfs but not .eps. In the meantime, I opened the .eps in Illustrator and saved it as a .tiff and then placed it into the InDesign document successfully but this is NOT a good solution as I have hundreds of .eps files I need to work with.
How can I get this resolved?

Try deleting preferences as outlined here. You might have to go so far as to reinstall InDesign, but I hope not.
Also, AI is a much better format for placing Illustrator files than TIF or even EPS.

  • "Cannot place this file.  No filter found for requested operation"

    Hello,
    Saw earlier postings on this but not quite the same situation and/or the solutions didn't work.  Using InDesign CS 6.  Trying to place many JPEG files.  First one placed.  After that, stopped working.  Trying closing out of InDesign and restarting.  Checked show options.  Couldn't import into Illustrator.  Tried copy and paste.  Please help!  Deadline approaching.
    Thank you!

    No, they don't open in Photoshop - but I did try renaming the file name - not the extension but the filename itself as it was very long, including location, date and number.  Although cumbersome for the number of files I have, this seemed to do the trick.  Thank you!!!

  • Cannot open eps files on maverick oSX with CS6

    I cannot open eps files on maverick oSX with CS6. AI and FW just hang and need to force quit to continue.
    I have tried using FW but no success. I can open old files but no new ones (existing on my computer) since upgrading to Maverick on a Macbook air.
    The files will open in Photoshop (as raster) and are able to be placed in ID.
    No Plugins in AI or FW.
    Latest Java update.

    If you can't open them, but place them, then the files might have been created with a newer version (like CC) or they might just be (partly) corrupt.
    You can try and create a new Illustrator file and place the EPS in it (embedded).

  • Elements 12 cannot open eps-files....what can I do??

    elements 12 cannot open eps-files....what can I do??

    Hello miss a,
    please have a look there https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1334015?tstart=0 and see Corect answer: "Support for EPS files was dropped with PSE 11".  and have a look at consecutive number 8 (for PSE 12!): https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=d7X1rXdE11yH0YHzrj7wog.
    If it's absolutely necessary to open these files you could use a trial version of PSE 12 for a while. But have a look at the restrictions at the end of the thread.

  • "Cannot place this file - ??? 28962-ALDCL6RC.RSL" error message

    Using PM 6.5 in Classic mode on Mac (OS 10.4.11). I have an existing pagemaker document that contains an EPS file that I need to change. When I try to update link to new EPS file or place it, I get the "cannot place this file" message. I am creating EPS in Illustrator 6.0 (also in Classic mode.) I have tried to place EPS file in a new Pagemaker document and get the same message. This used to work. I would really appreciate any help.

    I seem to recall that PageMaker wasn't a good friend of EPS files, but I could be wrong after so many years not using it. I would try with TIFFs, just in case.

  • Hi, I cannot open nef files in elements 4 for mac

    Hi,
    I cannot open nef files in elements 4 for mac.

    For the D3000 you need version 7 or higher. PSE4 is too old.
    You would need to download the converter to change NEF to DNG to open them in PSE4

  • Host Agent Service critical - Paging file is too small for this operation to complete

    Hi all,
    at the moment I have the problem that some of my hosts get in the errorstate critical in VMM 2012 SP1.
    The error details in VMM are:
    Error (2912)
    An internal error has occurred trying to contact the hostname server: : .
    WinRM: URL: [http://hostname:5985], Verb: [ENUMERATE], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Service], Filter: [select * from Win32_Service where Name="scvmmagent"]
    The paging file is too small for this operation to complete (0x800705AF)
    Recommended Action
    Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server hostname. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If hostname is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed
    and running.
    On the host i cannot connect to FailoverCluster or Hyper.V Manager. After a restart of the host the Problem is gone and the System is working without any Problems for some days.
    The paging file is set to 4GB and the OS is Server 2012.
    The hosts have 192GB of RAM.
    The configuration of the pagfile didn't change from Windows 2k8R2 to 2012.
    I didn't find any Errors in the eventlog. Do you have any idea where to check for that?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    The hotfix didn't solve the Problem for me either. The WMI crash came again after a couple of weeks.
    An additional problem with VDS was detected and the following hotfix was installed:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2884597/en-us
    Also a problem with Clusterservice was found, sadly MS is tagging this handle leak as "won't fix".
    Nevertheless one WMI Instance is still growing...
    We are testing a hotfix that so far looks promising. Its a private hotfix only right now. But the file is listed as KB494704 you may want to ask your support engineer to look into it.

  • Measurement Computing USB-SSR24 error 42 Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation

    Using LV 2012 and ULx 2.02 LV driver:
    LV is throwing an error 42 (Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation) from the ULx write VI but only on PortCH.  All my configurations are correct on the hardware and Instacal tests the ports OK.  I've reinstalled everything and still see the same issue.
    Since PortA is configured identical to PortCH, and PortA is functioning fine, I'm stumped.  This is occuring on two different SSR24 DAQs so I don't think it's the hardware, plus I've already mentioned that the Instacal isn't having a problem with it.
    I've attached my VI I'm using for debug.

    I worked with Measurement Computing and they agreed that there is a bug with certain DI/DO configurations.  There are a possible 16 different DI/DO configurations with the hardware and apparently mine (PortA - DO, PortB- DI, PortCL-DI, and PortCH-DO will throw this error for PortCH.  I'm currently using .net calls to work around the issue until the ULx driver is updated.  I'll post that when I see it.  Attached are the .net VI's that I'm using for simple static IO.

  • Cannot open EPS files in illustrator

    I am running illustrator CS6 16.0.4 on an iMac (new). I get the following error when trying to open some EPS files "can't open this illustrator file. the file was generated with a newer version of illustrator and cannot be opened. Please resave in a format compatible with your version of illustrator". As far as I can see I am running the latest version of illustrator and have updated everything that is available. I am having to get the files resaved in older versions to open

    I encountered this issue today when another designer sent us an EPS file from a newer version of AI. We use CS5 and are perfectly happy with the functionality - just because Adobe decides to update their software does not mean the additions they've made have value to us, so we rarely upgrade unless absolutely necessary. The plugins for our equipment aren't always readily compatible with newest version of Adobe products, so sometimes we have to skip a version entirely to avoid shutting the whole shop down.  Also, FWIW we don't always get a say in how files are sent to us. We own a commercial sign shop, and sometimes we have to work with completely mangled files. "Just don't use EPS" isn't always a realistic option when the customer hired a hack to design their logo.
    Anyway, here's how we solved this version compatibility problem: Please note we are on a Mac platform. Open the newer EPS files in Preview and then Save As a PDF. Preview will save to a clean version of PDF that is compatible with earlier versions of AI, at least it did for us. I did not test for transparency, but it did a good job of preserving the original file's colors, line weights, and gradients.
    For those who might question our logic about upgrades, think about this: Software updates are effectively legalized extortion. If Ticonderoga makes a new updated pencil, that doesn't give them the right to break into your office and snap all your existing pencils in half, but the software industry gets away with this (along with making crazy profits), because "licensing." I flat out refuse to downgrade to a software that requires a monthly tithe to the software gods. Until some feature comes out that we absolutely must have, we'll keep our older machines with CS5 going as long as they run.

  • Place .eps file in Elements?

    Can you place an .eps file (resizing it at the same time) in Elements like you can in Photoshop? If so, can you provide instructions that i can relay to a client? I use only Photoshop and don't have Elements so I need to give the client instructions. thanks.

    Suzanne,
    It works the same way in Elements as Photoshop. I checked in Elements 2 and 3...I assume it would be the same in Elements 4 and 5.
    When using the Place command, the only difference is that PS Place command has an X and Y box that can be adjusted. Elements has some extra icons for Scale and Screw but otherwise it's the same. The command Place is in the File menu as it is in Photoshop. Dragging and Dropping an .eps brings up the same size/resize dialog box in both Photoshop and Elements.

  • CS4 Cannot place PSD files in Yosomite

    Like a LOT of other users, I am working using CS4, a great package and I have always been happy with it and very stable,
    and I do not want to update to CS6 as cost is an issue.
    Please can anyone answer the question of how to fix the problem of not being able to place psd files in Illustrator as this is causing me
    no end of problems with my work.
    HELP..............................

    Why don't you look into subscribing to Adobe's Creative Cloud? Much less expensive, in the long run, than simply buying a CS6 suite any longer. I had a CS6 suite and, for the first year, only paid $30 a month for a subscription to CC but now I'm paying $50 a month. I still find that price cheaper than purchasing software that will lack the features of the 'newest' products.
    No problem placing PSD files into Illustrator dose with the CC versions!

  • I cannot open eps files

    What is going on with .eps files! 95% of my work is saved a .eps because not everyone uses Adobe! Now I cannot open or save and open .eps files on all my machines! Is there a software problem with the new CC2014 and CC?
    I have work to doe and I have been unable to use Distiller or Acrobat to convert these .eps files into PDFs. I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate, intel i7 processor 920 @ 2.67GHz, 8 gigs of ram, Nvida Ge Force GTX 650 Ti Boost  Raid 0.
    Is there a work around!

  • Cannot send eps file via mail. Just crashes.

    Everytime I try and attach an eps to a message
    the spinning wheel appears and mail does not respond.
    I have to force quit mail everytime.

    Size doesn't matter. It just will not send eps files.
    Thre are two macs of the same spec in department
    where I work. The other has no problem whatsoever.
    I think it is something to do with the actual email application
    rather than the files. Other than re-installing mail I was just wondering
    if anyone knew of any workaround such as deleting preference files etc.

  • How to place outbound files to multiple channels for a single agreement

    Hi All,
    We need to send single HIPAA 834 document to two different locations(channels) of the same TP. We have single HIPAA 834 agreement with one TP and one channel. is there a way to add two TP outbound channels for a single TP/agreement?
    Thanks,
    Kathar

    Hi Kathar,
    is there a way to add two TP outbound channels for a single TP/agreement?One TP may have multiple channels but one agreement can have only one associated channel. You may consider using the broadcast feature of Oracle B2B here.
    You may read about this feature here -
    https://blogs.oracle.com/oracleb2bgurus/entry/broadcast_feature_in_oracle_as
    Please note that this blog was written for 10g but concept and implementation is same in 11g.
    You need to create two TP profiles for same TP (you should use different name/identifiers for both) and then make them part of same group by adding identifier "Grouping" in both the profiles with same value. From middleware pass the header "Grouping:<value>" in action name or event name header. At runtime B2B will send the same message to both TP profiles.
    Regards,
