Just wondering if there is a way to check the saving option of an existing EPS file, example to check wether during saving they enabled "Include Document Thumbnails" or if the file were saved with preview format of "None" or "8-bit color", I've been reviewing the meta data of the files i have and i can't find it.

Hi Abraham,

Thanks for reaching out. To check the saving options of an existing EPS file, particularly the inclusion of document thumbnails or the preview format, you may need to use specific software or tools designed for analyzing EPS file metadata. Here are a few approaches you can try:

  • Adobe Illustrator: Open the EPS file in Adobe Illustrator and navigate to File > Document Setup. Here, you can check the options related to document thumbnails and preview format. Additionally, you can inspect the EPS file properties by going to File > File Info. This may provide more detailed metadata about the file, including its creation settings.

  • ExifTool: ExifTool is a command-line tool that can extract metadata from various file formats, including EPS files. You can use it to analyze the metadata of your EPS files and look for relevant information such as document thumbnails and preview format. Install ExifTool and run a command similar to the following: "exiftool your_file.eps"

    This will display the metadata tags associated with the EPS file. Look for tags related to thumbnails or preview format.

  • Third-party EPS viewers: Some third-party EPS viewers may provide options to view or extract metadata from EPS files. You can explore these options to see if they offer the information you're looking for.

Keep in mind that the availability of specific metadata related to saving options may vary depending on how the EPS file was created and whether the software used to create it included that information in the file's metadata. If you're unable to find the desired information using the above methods, it's possible that the EPS files you're working with do not contain that metadata.

Best,

Anshul saini
