Opening Illustrator from Mac to PC

Okay I was wondering if i can open an illustrator document in a pc???I was working my document in Illustrator cs and saved it eps file. So if i'm able to work on it in a pc, will there be a problem if i try to opened in a mac after saving my work in a pc. So basically work on mac then on Pc then back on a mac. is that possible? Will my file open on a mac? or will it get corrupted?

Probably your questions are better answered in an Illustrator forum rather than here in a Mac/Windows forum. Adobe's website would be an excellent place to continue your research.
I can say with a reasonable amount of confidence that fonts will probably be your biggest issue. While you may have "Arial" on both your Mac and Windows systems, they may not be identical versions; the metrics for each version may be different because they're from different foundaries or they were produced at different times. This may produce different kerning and lines of text may wrap differently. (While I don't have any experience with OpenType, you should look at this as an option. The same OT font files can be used on both Macs and Windows.)
As far as the files themselves are concerned, you'll find that a "CS" file on Mac is almost (if not exactly) the same as a "CS" file on Windows. You may run into some issues if your versions of Illustrator vary (say from CS on Mac to CS2 on Windows).
Hope this helps! bill

  • How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

    How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

    depend on the document program more then anything else really
    when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
    with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
    but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
    or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

  • Open photos from mac on a p.c.

    I can not get photos on a C.D.   from my Mac[ with Mt. Lion]  to open on a P.C.
    They show up on the p.c. but, I can not figure out how to make them transfer over ...the photos need to be copied and used by p.c. computer users.
    Thank you for any help.

    Ensure that the photos are in the form of jpg, jpeg, gif, or png files and not another format, including a complete iPhoto library; just about any image viewer should be capable of reading those formats.

  • Firefox won't open links from Mac Mail

    Like everyone else Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox if it is already open. Clicking a link brings FF to the front but no page loads. Links work if FF is not open. Links work if command is pressed whilst clicking the link (opens in new tab in background).
    Problem occurred after 32.0.2 update, it appeared to briefly resolve itself after 32.0.3 update, but stopped (I think) on next reboot.
    Have monkeyed around for ages with different combinations of default browser and rebooting.
    Will abandon FF and go back to Safari if this isn't sorted soon - shame.

    I just want to link to these earlier threads so you don't get a lot of duplicate suggestions that have already been covered there:
    * [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1018542 Firefox won't open email links after update to version 32]
    * [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1023202 No tab opens when I click on a link if any Firefox window is already open]
    (There might be others, but those are the ones I've seen)
    Work is proceeding on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017595 Bug #1017595 – Links from external applications sometimes fail to open when Firefox is hidden] but as you can tell from the title, this is focused on the problem of Firefox not coming out of hiding from the dock or coming out of hiding but not loading the page. If this also occurs when Firefox is not hidden at all, there may be a secondary issue. But hopefully solving the one will solve the other. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it will be in time for Firefox 33.

  • Premiere on Windows wont open Project from Mac

    It says "could'nt open Project because it was created with a newer Version of Premiere" although I have Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) on both, my Mac and my PC.

    check the version in help on both computers, one might be using a newer version. they changed project formats in 2014.1 (8.1 i think), the current version is 8.2.0

  • Need to Install Java SE 6 Runtime in order to launch Illustrator from Mac OS Yosemite?  But it's not available anywhere?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me with this?  I upgraded to Yosemite, and now I can't launch Illustrator because it says I need Java SE 6 runtime in order to open it.  But that version is not available anywhere, not on Apple's website and not on Oracle's.  I did install the latest version of Java, but that didn't solve the problem.  Apparently Illustrator (and I assume all of the creative cloud apps) require version 6?  Any input is appreciated, this is SO frustrating ...

    yes.  but if you follow that link and click on "download" you get an Apple message that says "We're sorry.  We can't find the page you're looking for."  That was the first thing I tried.  Any other ideas?

  • Can't open Illustrator CC-Mac

    Illustrator CC attempts to launch and it just goes away. All the other CC applications work just fine. I have a Mac.

    lalirivero,
    What happens if you restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it and if you run the Cleaner Tool, then try to reinstall?

  • Photoshop won't open photos from Mac photo app

    I'm just trying to open some of my photos into photoshop to do some editing. When I click "open" then try to go to the photos which are in the Apple Photo app, photoshop doesn't recognize them. That's the only location the photos are in. Someone help?!

    Good day!
    What do you mean by
    the photos which are in the Apple Photo app
    Do the images not exist as files of their own in a format like tif, jpg, psd, …?

  • Open folder from mac flash projector from a CD... not working

    I know there are many posts out there about this, but for
    some reason it's not working for me. I thought I was doing
    everything right, so I'm hoping the smart people of this forum
    could help.
    objective:
    Flash stand alone projector interface has links that open
    folders and a website that is local on the cd.
    What I've done
    I wrote an applescript that opens the folder. I saved as an
    application and checked the run and unchecked the others. named it
    "openpdf"
    I placed this file in the "fscommand" folder. This folder is
    on the same level as my projector. In this folder I have some ini
    and exe files for the pc side (which works by the way)
    in flash I wrote on the button:
    on (release) {
    fscommand("exec", "openpdf");
    }

  • Firefox 3.6.15 on OSX 10.6.6 no longer opens links from Mail; Safari and Chrome will

    Sometime around version 3.6.12 firefox, when set as the default browser, won't open links from Mac Mail. The firefox window will come to the front, but the link won't open. If I set Safari or Chrome as the default browser, they work.

    The following worked for me:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
    "Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
    Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
    I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

  • Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

    I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. At first, we thought it might be the size of the files over the network because some files are 2-3GB, but they are even having issues with files 200KB. We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
    Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.
    Does anyone have another solution or know what might be cause to this?

    >Anyone know a way?
    You want to edit a Photoshop file, buy Photoshop. You want to edit an Illustrator file, buy Illustrator.

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.
