CS6 not opening EPS file

I'm running Adobe Design Standard CS5 on my Mac and Adobe Design Standard CS6 on my PC. A client gave me an EPS file which I cannot open. The message in Illustrator says it was created in a newer version of Illustrator. But CS6 is the newest I thought. Why is this happening and how can I open it?

Never mind everyone. I opened it in Acrobat Distiller and saved it as a PDF. Then was able to open it in Illustrator.

  • CS6 not opening eps file, implementation limit, systemdict

    Hi Guys
    I'm having a bit of problem with my CS6 Illustrator and it started in illustrator CS5, I can create an eps file within Illustrator save it as CS6, but when i go to open it again i get an error " Can't open the illustration. The illustration exceeds an implementation limit. systemdict ŒØ_ˇ" (this can sometimes be varied with lots of ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ) . I get an option to click ok and when i do i get a blank artboard with nothing on it.
    I can see the artwork preview in the finder window when i select the eps file, I can open it in photoshop, convert it in preivew and if i place the file back into illustrator i can see the artwork and click embed to edit it.
    My question is this, is there anything i can do to get rid of the error message. all the work arounds are driving me daft.
    many thanks in advance

  • Is it possible to open eps files with Keynote?

    I have some eps Clipart files that I have been trying to edit so I can use the individual clipart images instead of having to crop a jpef or tiff copy of the original file.
    However, I can't seem to open the eps version of the file in any of the applications I have, which makes the files almost impossible to use...
    Is there any way of actually opening the eps files with Keynote, or does anyone know of a program or app that I can open these with?
    Thanks!

    There are a number of compatibility reasons why Keynote will not open eps files
    I use Illustrator to open, then save as a different file any eps files which Keynote wont open directly.

  • Opening .eps file in InDesign CC

    How do I open a .eps file in InDesign CC.  When I try there is an error message saying that the file cannot be opened "Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application".

    You do not open EPS files in Indesign, you place them. They can be opened in Illustrator.

  • Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

    I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
    EDIT:
    Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

    Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
    1. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
    2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
    That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

    I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
    Hope some one can help me.

    The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
    Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
    Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

    On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • 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).

  • "Could not open scratch file because disc is not available" Mac

    I recently changed the Photoshop (CS6) Scratch Disk choice from the default Boot Drive to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).
    When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:
    "Could not open scratch file because disc is not available"
    and Photoshop will not launch.
    I then restart Photoshop with "Command - alt - shift" keys held down
    (as per suggestion at <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)
    and reset the preferences which allows Photoshop to come back.
    (Resetting preferences returned the Boot Drive to scratch disk status.)
    I have another MacPro that - same OS 10.6.8 and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this scratch disk allocation problem.
    What is going on with the one  MacPro that prevents me from selecting a Photoshop scratch disk other than the boot drive?

    Ignore Ownership worked. Thank you!
    I saw this suggestion on another Discussion thread but wondered if that could be the problem since the non-boot scratch disks used on other computers here do not have this property chosen.
    "Permissions", "Ignore Ownership", and "apply to enclosed items" remain a mystery to me.
    As for Terminal, I've had my hand held a couple of times while I went there and it was not a comforting experience.
    Our work setup depends on complete access by everybody to everything (Read&Write Privileges apply to everyone here). We occasionally swap drives between computers which may cause problems, but why should it and how am I to know. The computer that prompted this discussion had its main hard drive replaced a couple of months ago which may have contributed to the problem.
    Is there a down-side to ignoring ownership on everything and having "read-write" privileges apply to everyone (aside from lax security)?

  • Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

    Hi,
    I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
    I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
    So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
    I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
    So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
    Cheers

    Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly
    That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.
    Please file a bug report.

  • Suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8

    Hi all-
    I suddenly can't open .eps files in FW8.  Starts to open and then says "Internal error occurred"  Text tool is also acting up.   I think it may be related to one of the extensions I downloaded  from the Adobe Exchange.  Or, maybe it was something I did.  Probably the latter.  Either way, it seems like my FW8 has gotten corrupted.   Ran spyware, adware, defrag, and virus scans.  Even talked nice to my computer, but nothing has worked.  I looked for patches or downloads on Adobe's site but there are none for FW8.
    Anyway, I'm guessing my only option is to reinstall, unless someone out there has a better idea.  If I do reinstall, does it erase everything?  Meaning, will I lose all extensions and all the settings?
    Thanks for your help!

    Using Win XP Media center edition v 5.1 Service Pack 3.  Been too afraid to upgrade to Vista.  Probably about time to upgrade my FW.
    I searched my entire machine for that file, both by file name and by all .txt files and could not find a "Preferences" file anywhere.  Here's what came up under the FW directory path:
    Thanks for your help, Heathrowe!

  • CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

    CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

    Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.
