Hello, I work for this company and they recently sent me .eps file that I supposedly can edit or take graphic elements in it, but when I open it in illustrator, I only see 1 layer with the visual as an <image> and not vectors. They swore this has never happened before so I don't know what the problem is really. I have the latest CC Ai and I am on a Macbook. Please help.

    I tried in photoshop, it only opens as 1 layer. Nothing else.


    Then maybe they have mistakenly send you the wrong file.

    Are you sure they know their way around file formats?

    EPS files are not necessarily vector files.

    Yes I'm aware, but apparently I am supposed to be able to take it from that file.
