Question

problem with saving in eps cs6 format

hello everyone,

 

macbook pro 13 inch 2019

macos big on 11.0.1

 

I have a problem since yesterday trying to save my .ai file as .eps.

When I try to save everything goes fine until I confirm the task. then the save time is infinite. I even tried leaving the dialog box open the whole time I was on the computer but nothing helps. either it doesn't save or illustrator crashes and closes unexpectedly.

 

my project is a simple project, no photos, helvetica typography and no gradients which are not supported by eps version cs6. so conflict wise i'm not sure that's what it is. 

 

I have done other projects in the meantime and strangely enough I have had no problem saving them in ai.

 

I would be very grateful if someone could help me if this has already happened to him.

thank you very much.

Maybe it has to do with the font. Hacve you tried converting to outlines first?

 

Also, if you app you're going to supports .ai files or .pdf files those are typically preferred over .eps (unless .eps is all that app supports).

    You could try and siable "Save in background" in the preferences.

    Also: save on the local disk, no synchronized folder.

     

    Do you need this to be editable in Illustrator CS6? Or why do you choose EPS CS6?
