BUG! Fehler beim speichern von EPS. Eine Elipse kann nicht erstellt werden.

Hello Srishti,

It’s been almost a year since I first reported these errors – and they are still present!

Let me briefly describe the issues again:

There are actually two persistent problems. Either I get a message saying the document cannot be saved because it already exists (even when I select "Save As" and deliberately want to overwrite a file) – or, at the end of the save process, there’s an error stating that an ellipse cannot be closed. The first message appears in both Photoshop and Illustrator, while the ellipse error only occurs in Illustrator.

If I repeat the process without changing anything in the document, it sometimes works on the second or third attempt. The same applies to “Save As”.

I have also noticed that the ellipse problem occurs even if there are no vectors in the document at all – for example, if there’s only a photo (jpg, png, psd) in the file.

I haven’t changed anything on my system in over a year, as this is a dedicated work PC.

OS: Windows
Version: 10.0
Processor Architecture: x86_64
Installed Memory: 98,163 MB

GPU Information:
Illustrator Version: 29.5.1
OpenGL Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 572.16

I would be happy to send you a file that triggers this error, but I can’t even create one, because the save process fails every time. And in a working EPS, you probably won’t find any error at all.

Ja, muss EPS sein. Mein Drucker kann nur PDF und EPS.  Bei PDF muss ich die Dateien aber immer exakt in der richtigen Größe anlegen und bei EPS nimmt mein Mimaki nur den Inhalt der EPS, egal in welcher Größe das angelegt wurde.

Ich mach das schon seit 16 Jahren so. Das ist auch erst seit dem vorletzten Update der Fall.

Also - Win10 64, Illustrator Version 28.5

Das kommt sporadisch. Egal ob da nur Text drin ist, oder Bilder mit dabei sind. EPS Einstellungen sind so wie sie vom Illustrator vorgegeben sind. DA habe ich noch nie was verändert.

Hi Bobby, in my case is PDF not the better option for my Mimaki Rasterlink. 
1. Its many times not possible to save PDF in the sizes I need. 
2. When I print PDF, Rasterlink use the exakt size from PDF. If I use eps, is the size not important, only the datas inside.

I use Win10, 64bit, Illustrator Version 28.5. I dont change any things to save eps.. all in the original settings.
And, I use Illustrator since more then 16 years, do always the same. There is nothing new now what I changed.

The error is not always. Last night I maked a test. Created a new document, insert a copy from a other open document ans saved as eps. One time goes, next time, with the same datas, was not possible. Then again, and work again. 

When I save the file before as ai and after as eps is no problem. 

And no, there are no transcarency effects inside. But I can repruduce if u want.
