malaga16 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Dear Affinty Team! I tried to open lots of EPS (and Ai) files with Affinity designer but it open like slied images! If i open it with Adobe Illustrator everything are good! (I can see vector layers) I tried to save as lots of option in illustrator, but not working! All of solution are same. Open with sliced images and not vector layers. Please help me, i bought all of your product, because i want to leave the Adobe bug-blackhole. 🙂 But i cant use your software too if i can open correctly any EPS or Ai. Quote
khyoz Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Same for me, I can import EPS, but as a simple and awful image, cannot ungroup, so unusable. I hope it will be corrected soon. Quote

v_kyr Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Well other software can, so it's more a matter of the used library and it's capabilities to parse/read-in those Adobe file formats.

It could be. I can't read that link. But the format is a proprietary file format. I haven't heard that Adobe has been licensing any other companies to use it.

v_kyr Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Other third party tools like Magic/Xara Designer, Corel ... etc. can do better. Also InkScape can open/import yet AI files usually intact *unless* there are a lot of clipping paths and/or certain effects in the file. So even Ai is a proprietary file format, some can open the PDF portion of the AI file more correctly.

mykee Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I have many EPS file too, and convert to SVG (1.0 or 1.1 versions from Illustrator), to PDF (1.4 - 1.8 versions) or open with Inkscape was not helped. I waiting a solution for this problem. Quote
LizardTrading Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I just tried the Inkspace solution and did not work. I am so frustrated. This is so limiting How can they not disclose this? Affinity says everywhere the EPS files are compatible. Quote
