Empty .eps files with Adobe Illustrator CS5?

When I save my files in Adobe Illustrator CS5 as .eps, the files show up as empty in a .pdf viewer? They cannot convert the .eps to .pdf. I can still open the files in Adobe Illustrator, though.

 

Anyone have the same issue or?

Why don't you just save them as PDF from Illustrator?

We use the .eps files to put them into LaTeX. This keeps the background transparent and it keeps the resolution high.

Which PDF viewer? Not all of them might be able to import EPS.

The LaTeX epstopdf converter cannot see them. Neither can Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Distiller.

Do you save them as EPS 3?
