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!

Please describe your workflow step by step.
Also: where do you save the files?

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 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.

Opening .EPS files on Photoshop CS2

Hi
I have just reinstalled my photoshop CS2, and for some reason, I cannot open EPS files. I can find the files, but when I open them, nothing appears (just a blank background, as if the picture is invisible)
Can anyone help me?

Is there like a setting I need to change? I used to be able to open them, but after I reinstalled Photoshop, I cant...

Just installed Photoshop Elements 13 - how to open .eps files?

I used to work with photoshop elements, never had a problem to open .eps files.
but with the latest version photoshop elements 13 unfortunately i cannot open .eps files anymore.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Or do I have to buy another photoshop software....
Thanks!

I was rudely told by adobe there is no way to open an eps file. When I tried to respond he
canceled our chat. But I read you can make it tiff? and do it that way? I tried to no avail. I paid 119 for this upgrade and now can't do what I need to. Any thoughts anyone to solve this problem? I have graphicstock.com and a lot of their files are either, jpg, png, eps , pdf files. I don't know why Adobe
took away this and image extractor. Elements 13 is not what I thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching youtube videos to no avail.

Cannot open .wmf files in CS 5.5 InDesign

I Receved the following message; Cannot open the file logo.wmf. 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; which it is not. I am lookinig for a solution; so I can do my online InDesign class.

You should not use a WMF file anyway in InDesign, try to get a PDF, AI or EPS version, then place this file. WMF is supposed for office printer to use in Word or other Office programs, not for high end print production or PDF creation at all.
If you get a PDF version, don't ise any which was converted from the WMF file!

Having Trouble Opening .EPS File

I am trying to open a .eps file in Illustrator CS3. As it is trying to open the progress bar for Parsing EPS format appears. Once the bar reaches the end, an error message shows up saying operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. Can anyone please tell me why this is happening? Even tried opening it up in Photoshop and paring error message appeared. I am using a PC on windows Vista. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott,
I received the emailed file in zip. Tried opening it with illustrator and the same problem happened again. Any reason why it may still not be opening up? Do you recommend maybe reinstalling illustrator. This problem never happened before. Thanks

Where did the file come from?
Was it emailed to you?
Email servers often corrupt eps files. It's best to have the person zip the file before sending it.

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.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
any ideas for next move.
Mick

Hi,
According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

I cannot open a file from LR5 into CC2014 unless it is a smart object. also will not save back to LR at all it gives me an error message "Line: 1 - photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh H

I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
Below is the error message:
Line: 1 -> photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh HD:Users:BPexposures:Desktop:_DSC5962 as Smart Object-1.psd');

I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame
