EPS file conversion from Illustrator

[Scott Shepherd]

I have a logo that was done in Illustrator by a customer and then saved down to V10 eps file. I can't seem to import it.

Can anyone give me a hand an perhaps open this and save it into a format that I can get into X3 easily?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a 3MP file, so too large to post here. I'd have to email it.

[Frank Corker]

Steve you can try sending it to me

[Doug Griffith]

I'll give it a shot if Frank has problems.

[Frank Corker]

or post it and we'll all have a go

[Scott Shepherd]

I've just emailed it to you Frank. Thanks to both of you for offering to help.

[Brian Robison]

What are you importing as?

[Scott Shepherd]

Tried importing it as "All Formats" as well as "EPS" (which it is). Both give me an error trying to open file.

[Brian Robison]

If you haven't tried it, try PS PRN EPS Postscript Interpreted.

[Scott Shepherd]

Yup, tried that. I get a grey box with the filename and Adobe Illustrator V13 in the box.

[Steven Smith]

I had a problem with importing some Adobe files to X3 until I installed X3's two service packs and the hotfix. Shot in the dark, but something you might try.

Scott,

If you can't get the file I can help we have illustrator CS2 here as well as all versions of Corel.

[Joe Pelonio]

That may be the same bug I had last week, had to open it in Corel 12.

[George Elston]

Yup, tried that. I get a grey box with the filename and Adobe Illustrator V13 in the box.

When you get the gray box, export it as eps or ai from corel, then reopen THAT eps file. A little trick I picked up when I wanted to edit PS fills.

[Frank Corker]

I have done it and returned it to you by email Steve

[Scott Shepherd]

Thanks Frank, got it and looks like you were correct, it was saved incorrectly for that type, so it looks like I'll be going back to the person who made it and see if they can produce it in a pdf file straight out of their software.

Thanks for all who have tried to help.

p.s. George, I tried your tip, that didn't work for this one, but I'll remember it next time. Thanks.
