EPS file opens as code language on Mac CS4 and CS3

A client is providing us with some art work for packaging material in EPS format. The Illustrator CS4 and CS3 open these files as some kind of Code language. This is how it looks like on my illustrator window ( saved as PDF and copy pasted a portion ):

Does anybody know what's going on here ?

i fired the Adobe Distiller 9 for the first time set the default settings on "Standard " , opened the offending EPS file with it and a a flash i got a loged error at the bottom of the Distiller windo :

  • EPS file opened in Photoshop

    Please let me know whether the resolution will change when an eps file is opened in Photoshop.
    Is it possible to change the resolution of the eps file opened in photoshop.
    regards,
    Sashi

    If it is a generic eps file you can set the resolution in the EPSOpenOptions. If it is a Photoshop eps file I think you can only change the resolution after it is open because Photoshop has already rasterized the data.

  • Illustrator CS4 and CS3 crashing on two different mac's - can not save or print

    We have two Macs running 10.5.6, with CS4 and CS3 installed. Both systems seem to be crashing today when trying to save, print, etc any file. Some files that were created in CS3 that are older seem to be opening and saving. But anything I know was worked on yesterday are having issues on both systems.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I have tried trashing the preferences, and also booting in safe mode and still get crashes.

    I just tried an uninstall of Illustrator - then reinstall. Did not work either. Here is the report I am getting if anyone is interested:

  • EPS files open with unusual line slices

    We have roughly 4500 eps files that were created in freehand years ago. The files contain both raster images that were embedded as well filled vector paths which were created in freehand. The embedded raster image opens flawlessly as wells as some of the filled paths. I say "some of the filled paths" because there are other filled vector paths that were created using the freehand auto-trace function (similar to AI's live trace)- these filled paths open incorrectly. They open with unusual lines that perforate the entire filled object- a strange slicing effect that appears to happen only to the filled paths that underwent freehand's auto-trace function. The other art appears to be fine.
    Is there a method to correct this problem in AI? I'm using A mac os 10.6.8 cs5, When I open the eps in photoshop I don't see any slicing- but photoshop also converts it to a raster image and I would like to preserve the paths. When I open the image again in freehand it opens fine.
    Below are examples showing the sclicing effect.

    Hello Mike
    Yes, I was able to arrive at that solution as well- converting the paths to a raster image then running a live trace on that raster file. I haven't tried uniting the paths though... good suggestion! Thank you!
    The only solution I found so far to keep the eps in a proper vector format was opening the "corrupted" eps in illustrator and selecting all paths and convert that selection into raster art, then convert the raster art back into vector art (live trace). This action can be automated in a batch sequence (4500 files are a bit to much to open individually). The lines will vanish! However the paths will all be one layer with varying color (color differs depending on the artwork), not ideal but it is the best solution that I can think of.
    Do you know any way to release the paths after you preform  the live trace function. It seems (in the case of multiple colors especially) that when a raster image undergoes the live trace option the end result is one object with multiple paths that appear to be grouped together. Is there any way to release these paths? So one could identify them separately by mousing over them?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Is there a way to keep your original Illustrator EPS file open after saving it as a PDF?

    After I create artwork in Illustrator, and save it as an EPS, I have to then save it as a PDF so I can email it to the customer for proofing/approval. The pain in the behind part is that once I save this EPS as a PDF, I have to close the PDF then reopen the original EPS to continue working on it/view it, whatever. I know in InDesign, once you save your EPS file as a PDF file, the original EPS file remains open. Is there a setting in Illustrator that will work the same way? And if not....Why not?!

    Now can you to anything about bad drivers, inconsiderate people, telemarketing phone calls, bad hair days, etc.
    HA I wish, let me know when you find a resolution to those problems.
    Glad I could help

  • File- open displays only generic icons for psd and raw

    Following a hard drive crash, I had to reinstall Photoshop CS5.  I've updated to the latest version (12.0.1) and updated my NVIDA GEForce 8600 driver to the latest from Dell. This is on a Dell XPS 410, 4 GB memory and hundreds of gigs of hard drive space. When I use the File-->Open menu and dialog to look for images to use, while JPG and most TIF icons are thumbnail icons, the CR2, CRW, PSD and DNG icons are all generic. There is no problem in Bridge or in LightRoom. Opening the image in Photoshop doesn't seem to help.
    While I obviously have options, when I just need to go looking quickly for an image I know is there, this makes it difficult to find. What can I do to get those previews back?
    Thanks in Advance

  • Is it possible to make InDesign files created in CS5.5 backwardly compatible with CS4 and CS3?

    I have recently installed CS5.5 on my iMac running Mac OSX Lion. I have documents that were prepared in CS3 and CS4. They read OK in CS5.5 but I cannot then save them to be read in the earlier versions. Any Ideas please?

    You'll need to export to IDML to open in CS4. If you need them in CS3 you'll need to open the IDML in CS4 and export to INX. You can open the INX in CS3.

  • Mac Book and CS3

    Hey all, any comments on a Mac Book (looking at 2.16GHz) and CS3?? Light Photoshop work, major Illustrator/Acrobat work. Will the lack of dedicated graphics chip cause any noticeable performance losses??
    Thanks eveyone!!

    CS3 and the MacBook get along just fine but, of course, CS3 is a memory hog so you'll want at least 2GB of RAM. I'm tempted to characterize applebookg5's post about the MacBook's display being garbage as compost. What I'm sure he meant to say is that for doing serious color work an LCD isn't as accurate as a CRT and he is right. But unless you are a professional photographer and intend to work only on the MacBook without benefit of a CRT, that isn't really a concern.

  • My EPS file opens as preview only

    Hey I am totally new to Illustrator, I bought a template from graphicriver and when I open it in Illustrator it opens up as preview and I can´t seem to get any options to work in the file?? Any help out there for a new beginner? 
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Larry for your tip!
    I looked at the object menu and sure enough the option to unlock was there but not available. Do have any idea why that might be?

  • Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

    I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
    - Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
    - Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
    - Trying a couple of different PDFs
    I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
    Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

    Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
    This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
    There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
    Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.
    Best

  • Opening an EPS file in Illustrator

    Hello,
    How come Illustrator doesn't honor the BoundingBox comment of an EPS file? Whenever I open an EPS file in Illustrator the page size is always the default size, not the size specified in the BoundingBox line of the file. Is there a setting within Illustrator that will enable this?
    Thank you,
    Paul

    Hi Karsten,
    The EPS files are for use with LaTeX. Some of the EPS files I have were produced from other applications and are a lot leaner in size than if produced by Illustrator.
    Also, when I save an EPS file within Illustrator, I have to open it up in a text editor and remove everything after %%EOF.
    Is there a special PostScript code for specifying the page size for use in Illustrator?

  • Open eps-files in evince

    Hi everybody
    For months I'm observing problems opening certain eps-files in evince (3.14.1-2), okular and similar.  At the moment I've installed evince, and depending on the file it works more or less.
    So if I open an eps-file created with latex using tikz, it seems to work without any error.
    If I open an eps-file saved in matlab, most files open, but there isn't anything visible. In the console I don't get an error (e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm13jvtgqgq55 … .eps?dl=0)
    If i open an eps-file exported from mathematica, most time evince just crashed, with either the error

    which is from this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pznkke4a45cso … d.eps?dl=0 - even worse: most probably only creating the thumbnail lets evince crash, because if I afterwards open evince without a file, it crashes again, until I've opened some other pdf files directly.
    What is the difference between those files? I found different things about the error in the last quotation, but this should be fixed in the newer ghostscript versions (and gs seems to work with all files).
    Another thing is: Why is zathura able between differentiating between those files? It just does not list the files which would lead to an error ...
    Has anybody an idea what could cause these problems?
    Regards

    You aren't doing anything wrong. The help files are out of date. Starting with PSE 11, adobe dropped support for many file formats, including EPS. If you have windows and an older version of PSE you can move the EPS parser plugin to PSE 12. This won't work on a mac.

  • Preview hangs on opening EPS files

    Hi,
    I have posted this question several times now, and I still hope to solve the problem. When I open an eps file Preview tells me that it will convert it to a pdf. It does that for ever or until I quit Preview.
    I have already checked my fonts with Font book, but that didn't help.
    I would really like to write my PhD thesis in LaTeX using eps graphics.
    In the hope of a good answer thanks in advance,

    IF you control-click on the file you want to open,
    you can pick which application will be used to open
    the file with.
    This doesn't help?
    I've gone into the .eps file's Get Info window and changed things so that all .eps files open in TeXShop. Right-clicking an .eps file gives me four choices: Preview, ColorSync, OpenOffice, and TeXShop. Preview and ColorSync hang, and OpenOffice doesn't display the figure properly. TeXShop is the only one that displays it correctly.
    This raises two questions in my mind:
    1) Which apps DO correctly render .eps files?
    2) Is the hanging in ColorSync related to the hanging in Preview? ColorSync renders .pdf files correctly.
