Vico Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I am trying to open this EPS file Affinity Designer displays "opening document" and does nothing further. file attached. Any idea? 4581884.eps.zip Quote
Paul Mc Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Loads like this for me. AD 2.1.1 on Windows. It took a while though. Quote
Hangman Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Likewise on macOS... Though the file itself is probably of little use as it's been converted to a series of grouped image layers.

v_kyr Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 That Sushi_landing_10__Freepik.eps EPS-file is relative huge for an EPS (73.2 MB) and thus will take it's time to load and open at all. Further it contains AI specificas which probably will not be interpreted/rendered correctly in Affiniy software. Such more complex AI EPS files from Freepik are mostly useless for Affinity software, as they will not be interpreted/rendered either the right way under Affinity! ... Sushi_landing_10__Freepik.eps %%Creator: Adobe Illustrator(R) 22.0 ... How that file should probably look more like ...

thomaso Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I get this result with Distiller v10.1. (after ~60 min.). Different to the EPS (73 MB) this PDF has 13 MB only (and it loads quite slowly), so the EPS was probably uncompressed and|or contains additional data from its creating app "Adobe Illustrator CC 22.0 (Macintosh)". 4581884_dist.v10.pdf Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
Vico Posted June 22, 2023 Author Posted June 22, 2023 Hello All, thank you for your kind reply, indeed it took a very long to open, I actually left my Mac and as I returned I found it was open. It does not render correctly as you guys have astutely pointed out. I will probably need to open this in Illustrator as Thimaso said (I thank you or that). Sad that Affinity is unable to open such files properly. maybe a shout-out to the guys from Affinity maybe you can make this process better, please. Again thank you all. Quote
GarryP Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) The Adobe applications have a habit of putting Adobe-specific ‘stuff’ in certain files, under certain conditions, and it’s this ‘stuff’ which the Affinity applications cannot handle well, or at all. This is partly because this ‘stuff’ is of a proprietary nature (‘secret Adobe sauce’) which Serif cannot access (or could access but would possibly be on shaky legal ground by doing so). (The above is a simplistic explanation, just to give an idea of the problem, rather than a truly accurate overview of the circumstances.) Edited June 22, 2023 by GarryP Quote
