Use eps files in a 2' x 6' banner designed in CS2 Illustrator.

I have two eps files (logos) I'd like to use in a 2' x 6' banner. The rest of the banner will use text. How can I incorporate these eps files? I'm using CS2 Illustrator. Thanks for your help.

yourself,
If the .eps artwork is vector, there should be no resolution issue (depending on possible raster effects/images contained).
You can see whether it is raster or vector when you select (an embedded version of) it. Vector will appear as other vector artwork.
Is Anti-Aliased ticked in the Edit>Preferences>General?
Concerning the pixelation/usability, you may judge by using different zoom levels.
You may ask the recipient about resolution.

How to use .eps files in Adobe Photoshop CS

I purchased some vectorshapes from Vectorstock, and downloaded .zip files to my desktop. I then extracted the files to the /presets/customshapes folder in Adobe Photoshop CS. (I have Windows 7). I then found out they were not .CSH files but Encapsulated PostScript or .eps files. How can I use them in Adobe Photoshop? Please help

Thanks, that helps.

How can i see and use EPS files ?

I have gotten an e-mail from a company that shold make a cd for my band. They attached a EPS file. But I can not view it. Hvat program for mac can do this? Were to get it ?

I found a number of applications that should view eps files on a Mac.
In the Mac app store, PS-to-PDF will convert the file to pdf, which you can then view with Preview or Adobe Acrobat.
Also in the app store, File Viewer will let you view eps files directly, and it is free.
A Google search will likely find many more.
Best of luck.

Illustrator CS4 - frequently generates corrupt EPS files that will not parse

I have used many versions of Illustrator prior to and including the CS lines. I am currently running CS4 and this is the first time I have experienced this issue. Approximately half of my EPS formatted illustrator files will not parse. I use Quark Xpress 7 for my layout (never liked any of the Indesign programs). If I try to generate a PDF with my CS4 generated EPS files placed at least 60% of the time the placed file will corrupt the PDF export resulting in no PDF being generated.
Further to this PDF export issue, if I attempt to parse the same EPS file into Photoshop, Photoshop will give me the error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript" and it will abort the attempt to open the file.
Anyone else having Illustrator EPS file issues?
Background info (if needed) Dual 2.0 Ghz, PowerMac G5, 8 gb RAM, running Tiger 10.4.11
I have attached a sample Illustrator file that will not Parse. It will open in Illustrator but not parse into Photoshop or if placed in Quark will not parse and allow for a PDF to be exported.

Thanks for taking the time to write Steve.
I understand that I can drag and drop between programs. Ultimately, when attempting to parse an EPS in photoshop I am merely doing it to confirm that the EPS is indeed corrupt.
As mentioned previously, I predominately use Quark Xpress for my page layout program and until I installed CS4 I have had zero complications with using EPS files. Now I quite commonly can not export PDFs due to corrupt EPS files.
My question to the public is I am alone in this glitch or do others experience the same issue. My first thoughts are that CS4 has a glitch and I should be expecting an update in the near future. But, if I am the only person suffering from this issue than maybe I should be looking at my own software.

EPS Files - Vector

Hello All,
I never used eps files in Premiere Pro before converting and sizing in Photoshop. My client recently set some supers in Illustrator, so I decided to give them a try in CS-3. They imported correctly and everything was ok. I decided to scale them larger with the inherent motion/scale command. I realized they had become rasterized on import...no big deal.
Looking at the help file...I came across this:
"Adobe Premiere Pro continuously rasterizes EPS images, so you can scale these files without pixilation." (you can search eps and find this under import)
So either I am doing it incorrectly or the help file is wrong. After Effects works no problem with vector graphics. Does Premiere Pro CS-3?
Thanks Ray

I was hoping CS-3 had implemented the vector enging the same as in After Effects. Looking at the manual, it seems to suggest it as well.
Downsizing is what I alwas do as well. But hey...if vector is real..I'd rather use that.

Questions regarding: 1) Photoshop and Illustrator softwares 2) .eps file formats.

I'm using a DELL PC running Win7. I have Adobe Photoshop CS (i.e. the first CS version from 2003).
I do not yet have Adobe Illustrator.
I'm creating images for a science publication. It includes graphs, chemical structures, color photos of lab
equipment. I use ChemBioDraw (Cambridgesoft, http://scistore.cambridgesoft.com) to draw chemical
structures and schematics. I've been using MS Powerpoint to draw graphs, make composites of photos, label
panels, and add annotation.
1) The publishing company wants line drawings to be in .eps format. I can copy and paste ChemBioDraw
and Powerpoint figures into Photoshop and then save them in .eps format. They look identical to me when in
.eps format. Will this be suitable for publication?
2) The ChemBioDraw figure file size increases more than tenfold when converted to .eps format. Is this
expected?
3) I have used Photoshop a lot in the past but not for my recent work. My coauthor uses Adobe Illustrator on
a PowerMac G5-9.1. He creates .eps files for line drawings. Are the drawing tools in Illustrator much
better than those in Photoshop? If I get Illustrator will I be able to manipulate photo images (create
composites, add annotation etc.) as I have with Photoshop in the past?
4) My coauthor has sent me some .eps line drawings. When I open them with Photoshop there is a gray and
white checkerboard pattern in the background. I believe this is because the background layer has been
eliminated (the image is in layer 1). Can such a file be opened in a way that the background is solid white?
5) Is there a Windows-compatible software for viewing .eps files that is simpler than Photoshop or Illustrator (i.e. no editing
function)?
Thanks,
Thomas C.

1) No. Photoshop does not create true vector files. Anyone asking for an EPS more than likely wants a true vector EPS file.
2) No way of telling without seeing the results. But it could be perfectly normal. Increased file size in an EPS does not automatically mean there is a problem.
3) Illustrator is a drawing tool. The tools in Illustrator are designed for object-oriented vector drawing. In many respects they are better than Photoshop's tools for those type of projects. And No, you can not edit photographs easily with Illustrator. While you can include photos or raster items within an Illustrator file, Illustrator is not inherently designed to edit iamges at a pixel level.
4) Just add a new layer and fill it with white (or whatever color). Vector EPS files have no background.
5) If you have Photoshop or Illustrator you have Bridge. You can view files in Bridge. I wouldn't know of any other Windows software. It may exist, I simply wouldn't know.

InDesign CS3 "White Box" when printing with linked Photoshop EPS files

This problem has been covered before, but never really resolved:
Robert Levine, "InDesign CS3 Erratic White Box Phenomenon with Placed Photoshop EPS files" #1, 1 Apr 2008 11:05 am
Now, I'm aware that we should no longer be using EPS files. I wholeheartedly agree. But until we can convince the department to change to another format (namely PSD or TIFF) for our vast library of images, I need a workaround.
It seems that setting the clipping path for each linked image to "Photoshop Clipping Path" resolves this issue. So I tried writing an AppleScript that would find each linked Photoshop EPS and set it's clipping path to "Photoshop clipping path", but it didn't work for me (my expertise with AppleScript is basically nil.)
Can anyone assist with the creation of this script? Or does anyone have a better suggestion for solving or working around the Photoshop EPS erratic white box printing problem?
Thanks!

>Why??????????
Because they've got zillions of EPS and have no time to resave them all and because it
b should
work even if Buko doesn't like EPS...
(Your vendetta against EPS takes on strange proportions. Were you bitten as a child by a rabid EPS and have sworn to wipe them out? Must be an interesting story behind it ;) )
Brian, this script seems to do the job with one very important caveat: I see no way of finding out which path is active in the EPS (in case that more than one). So the script simply activates the first in the list.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set aDoc to active document
set allLinks to links of aDoc
repeat with n from 1 to (count allLinks)
set aLink to item n of allLinks
if link type of aLink is "EPS" then
   set anEPS to parent of aLink
   tell clipping path of anEPS
    set ePaths to photoshop path names
    if (count ePaths) > 0 then
     set clipping type to photoshop path
     set applied path name to item 1 of ePaths
    end if
   end tell
end if
end repeat
end tell

Can I convert a jpeg into an eps file without illustrator?

I do not have illustrator and I need to convert a jpeg file into an eps file. Is there a way to do this without illustrator?

You can re-save the jpeg as EPS from Photoshop,
but if you need a vector eps, you will need Illustrator or an equivalent program to do it. Also, depending upon the complexity of your file, it may not be able to be an automatic convertsion.

I can't get my PC to use Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open .ait or .eps files.

When I try to set Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open certain files, such as Illustrator templates (.ait) or .eps files, my PC will not allow me to choose Illustrator. I've tried asking it to use the shortcut & also by going into my folders as follows:
C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 > Support Files > Contents > Windows > Illustrator
Anyone know how to fix this?

EPS File Not Using Proper Fonts in Illustrator

I am trying to import an EPS file that I created in Finale 2014 into Illustrator CS6 (64 bit). It seems to not want to use the Maestro font for the noteheads, rather replacing it with Myriad Pro. I have tried this on multiple machines with the same result. I have tried to switch the font manually, but it will not change.
Likewise, I can open the file in Photoshop just fine with all fonts intact.
I need it as an EPS file because I need to be able to ungroup the vectors and alter them in Illustrator.

devinc,
Maybe the maestro font is not up the requirements.
Illy is particularly particular about the quality of fonts, because she can work with them at a deeper/higher level than most, so you can easily have a font that works in all other applications, but Illy refuses to recognize it as a font.
Some failing fonts discussed in earlier threads have turned out to have rather basic flaws, such as redundant, superfluous, or (if I remember rightly) even stray points, or other clear errors in the paths that they consist of.
You may need to look for similar fonts that Illy is willing to work with.

Is this possible? Using Illustrator Script to duplicate EPS file 35 times & changing C,M,Y,K value?

Hi everyone,
I need HELP I have a bunch of vector clip arts, which are Black (C,M,Y,K100). I need it in 35 different colors Saved as Illustrator 8 EPS and I also need those file in 72 DPI PNG Transparent files.
Thanks for any help.
Akkudo.

Good evening,
0) In your templates give a specific namme to each path or groups or items via the layers window.
     The objective is to use a script like these two:
    Set myLayerCercle = my_Laieur_elements.GroupItems("Laplupart").PathItems("LaplupartCercle")
        myAiApp.Redraw
        myLayerCercle.FillColor.Spot.Color.Cyan = 0
        myLayerCercle.FillColor.Spot.Color.Magenta = 100
        myLayerCercle.FillColor.Spot.Color.Yellow = 80
         myLayerCercle.FillColor.Spot.Color.Black = 0
       myAiApp.Redraw
or
textRef.Paragraphs.Add ("myNewText")
    textRef.Paragraphs(1).ParagraphAttributes.Justification = aiRight
    textRef.Paragraphs(1).CharacterAttributes.Size = 12
    textRef.Paragraphs(1).CharacterAttributes.HorizontalScale = 10
    textRef.TextRange.CharacterAttributes.BaselineShift = fontBaseLineShift
    textRef.TextRange.CharacterAttributes.TextFont = myAiApp.TextFonts.Item("Times")

    textRef.TextRange.CharacterAttributes.FillColor.Magenta = 100
    textRef.TextRange.CharacterAttributes.FillColor.Yellow = 0
    textRef.TextRange.CharacterAttributes.FillColor.Cyan = 0
If you agree please send your eps file via my email. I could be than more efficient.

How to open the eps file in illustrator using c sharp?

How to open and save the eps file in illustrator via c#(c sharp)? Is there any c# illustrator reference guide available? Kindly advise me.
Thanks

Pretty easy ...take the vb reference guide and make the modifications accordingly.
A quick tip would be to press CTRL+W and view the Object Browser after adding a reference to the illustrator Type Library... that will give you a pretty neat look about the illustrator object model in visual studio ... i`m not quite aware if a similar option is available within Mono Initiative's designer.
after that is pretty easy.
(it doesn't really make sense imho importing the namespace as "Application" is used in many other namespaces)
add this to your Form1_Load routine:
Illustrator.Application app = new Illustrator.Application();
app.Open(@"D:\Work\msh_3ds.ai", null, null);
hope it help.
cheers;

Help with imported eps files from photoshop and illustrator using PANTONE

I am new to InDesign and running into some very frustrating issues. I am preparing a catalogue for print which was created in Quark XPress previously. I tried converting it initially but had all kinds of strange things happening with type re-wrapping. The printer advised to recreate in InDesign. FIne by me because I'll learn as I go along.
So I created a page in InDesign and place and eps file created in Illustrator using a spot Pantone color and a halftone created in Photoshop also using the same spot Pantone color. In InDesign the color swatch menu show both colors one as 228 C and the other as 228 C 1. How do I get just one definition for PMS228 coated that works across all three programs? Stuff like this pisses me off. Adobe should have one definition across all three.
Help!!!

My best guess for the two definitions is that the CMYK values of the colours do not match, so InDesign treats them separately. You can merge them using the In Manager. Open the Swatches panel and select Ink Manager from the flyout menu. Select PANTONE 228C 1, go to the Ink Alais pop-up menu, and select PANTONE 228. Now InDesign will treat the two colours as one separation on output.
You should also take the time to open each graphic and resave as a native file. This means .psd for Photoshop and .ai for Illustrator. While there, see if you can make sure the colour names and definitions are consistent.

You need Illustrator to open .ai files. That is, if you want to edit them.
If you just need to place them, then tell us what you want to do with the files.

Can you remove XMP data from .eps files in Illustrator-CS5.5?

Background:
I'm using font software called Typetool 3 and Illustrator CS5.5.
I am using these on Windows 7, 64 bit.
This is entry level font software released by Fontlab.
This software accepts artwork through the .eps file format in both theory and practice.
However: it refuses illustrator CS5.5 .eps files.
When I looked at this I came up with two highly interesting things: First- CS5.5 illustrator files are roughly 13 times the size of CS5 files, of this type (a simple font glyph-comparing a 29-30 kbfile to a 420-450 kb file in cs5 and cs5.5 respectively).
Thing two came from looking at what that data was (by opening it in a text editor). It appears that some of the data XMP data, illustrators data for tracking things like who created the file, copyright, and other. In document info many of these fields were blank. I'm sure this isn't the only issue because my exported xmp data is 64 kb large, but it does account for a chunk of the file.
The main question being: Can this xmp data; which for my purposes is redundant, because I have to put copyright and other data in the font, be removed or not included at the point of document creation?
The technical question being:Can the file be saved in a manner which will allow it to be exported from adobe CS5.5 and imported into Typetool 3?
Things I've tried:
In saving .eps file: removing document headers, previews, color data, saving as different versions of the language. Basically saving it without all settings.
In saving .ai file: saving without any settings checked (without compression, pdf editting, ect.) and saving it to a different level of illustrator.
I do not know enough about postscript programming to navigate the file or remove the offending data. Nor do I have time to do this over multiple glyphs.
As a matter of opinion I do not like that my software is including potentially identifying information (which is one of the intents of XMP data, to provide identification) without notifying the creator, let alone allowing me to keep it from doing that. I would not mind or bother-except for the fact its messed up an established workflow. If someone editted this data without my knowledge, say with a virus or heaven forbid manually, it would be also be bothersome. Having a check that identifies that I am sending this data out would give me something to know if this situation was in fact happening. Additionally for a situation like mine-communication between programs in a closed environment where no other users are involved, its unnecessary and wasteful... like putting gold rims on what is intended to be an oxcart.
I'm planning on going to Fontlab for later this week, as it is as much thier issue as it is Adobe's. From what I know XMP is both a useful and popular technology- having a workaround for this situation seems like it would be a good idea. If necessary I can attach some working files for comparision.

I would save it as EPS (version Illustrator 3). This should be compatible to almost any software that takes EPS.

Use eps files in a 2' x 6' banner designed in CS2 Illustrator.
