Honour spot colours / EPS

[JamesA]

Still need to honour spot colours in .eps file format
.eps is a standard format for distributing logos and other spot colour printed items since the year dot. 

I've needed this since V1.

The colour palettes need to 'stick' with the documents too. I don't want to have to keep resetting my colours.

In that case you need to create a document palette by clicking on the burger menu in the Swatches Panel and selecting Add Document Palette... option.

Agreed, particularly when opening an EPS, but…

… the 20th century has called and wants its EPS back.

I've been requesting from clients and distributing to clients logos primarily as PDF since about 20 years now.
EPS is a relict from a distant past and should finally retire for good.
Apple has already done so: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213250

Sure - but i still want to open an .eps and see the spot colours honoured. And vice-versa. 

some people are still using Adobe right?

Fair enough, so do I.

That by itself is not a good enough reason. Apple has removed functionality with every release of macOS. It is not as though eps is not a valid file format just because it is "old". 

Have you heard that Microsoft Office no longer supports EPS files. From 2017 or 2018, I can't recall.

The point is EPS is being honoured by fewer and fewer applications. You, and your clients, will be best served by following loukash's advice. Sooner, rather than later.
