dhollins 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Can someone tell me why when I try to open certain EPS files in Coreldraw 12, I get a message that has the name of the file with Coreldraw 12 under it. wilecoyote1..eps wilecoyote1..eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest stunad, jr. Posted April 19, 2009 opens fine for me in x4 but I have to import it as editable/convert to curves. Otherwise I see the corel 12 box if I check "place as encapsulated postscript". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Peabody 0 Posted April 19, 2009 I tried to import it and just open it in x4 - I didn't have any problems. Try posting a screen shot so we can see what your getting. Peabody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dhollins 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Yes! Thanks Stunad! Thats exactly what I'm talking about. Why does it do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Peabody 0 Posted April 19, 2009 I saw that in the preview-but the file opened ok. One thing I did notice was when I went to save it. The file name had 2 dots <wilecoyote1a..cdr> . I'm not sure where that came from. I don't know if you actually were able to open them before, so I attached a eps and CDR (x4) file.

dhollins 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Nope. I was never able to open it from the start. I couldn't view either of the ones you posted either. With the .cdr file it opens but nothing is there. In the .eps file, I get the same message as before. Kind of weird. Maybe I need to re-install Coreldraw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Occasionally I'll have a file do that and if I "open" instead of "import" it will open correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pogo 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Be sure you are choosing "PS, EPS, PRN-PostScript" as the file type instead of "EPS". Using the "EPS" filetype import just inserts a placeholder for the eps file without actually importing the vectors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
