Hi Guys,
I have a problem with an eps file sent to me by a regular customer. I laser engrave different company logos onto their products.
This is the second time this month that I've had the same problem with an eps file. If I try to open it in coreldraw12 I just get a blank box. If I try importing it it looks very pixillated(hope I spelled that right).
I would appreciate any help. I'll attach the file.
Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

I tried opening the file in Illustrator, thinking it may be a Mac format, but got the same blank screen.

"The Illustration contains an incomplete or garbled object description" is the error message that popped up.

I was able to "place" the file on a page, but as you experienced, it was bitmapped (heavy pixelation).

Try this and see if it works for you.

Thank you Mike,

I was able to open that one in Illustrator. I think that should work for Tony.

I'll leave the file intact, until Tony retrieves it.

It looks perfect. would you mind telling me how you got that.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi David, I tried a test import into CorelDraw 11 and 12 and that worked as well. Hopefully it will behave for Tony ;-)

I learned this simply by trial and error... (as well, you can still see faint 'QWERTY' keyboard imprints across my forehead.)

I simply opened in Illustrator and saved it as a version 8.0

For some reason (at least for me) CorelDraw will not import any .ai or .eps that is anything higher than version 8.0.
