? on opening an illustrator file w/ Corel 12

[Cutting_Edge 6]

I was sent an illustrator file and when I go to either open it or import it into Corel, my Corel closes down......

Now, here's what was sent......an illustrator file, then an eps file...was told by creator that it was created and then saved in legacy format......but I still can't open them....the second eps she sent me was over 11,000 KB and bogged down my system......

Am I doing something wrong?  Why can't I open these if she says she saved it back in a legacy format of ai 7?

TIA, cause I am confused over this one

Here is what they sent me.....I have tried to both open it and import it into Corel 12 and nothing......I got a pdf to open in adobe reader, but copied and pasted it and after having to enlarge it 3X its size, it looked pretty crappy.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Ok the zip file is no good.

Tried to open it in a couple of different zip programs.

Where is the pdf?

You could have them resend it in a AI file not zipped.

you have to extract the file BEFORE you import it into your software.  After it is extracted, then you import it into Corel or whatever you are using.   Why are you importing it into Corel  first anyway.?  are you changing it or something?  Did you try to import  into your cutting software?  SignBlazer, Signcut etc.
