Hi Everyone!
Are you sick of the winter weather and snow yet?
I am ready for spring!
Since we have been getting files from CS4 Illustrator, I have noticed
customers sending duplicates of the same file. I wasn't sure what was
going on until I saved my own illustrator file, here is what I end up:
two of the same resulting .eps files, one with the name I saved
it to, and the other with "the name-01".
So I went online to find out why that happens, I went to the Adobe
website to get the answer:
Uncheck the "Use Artboard" option in the save as EPS dialog. When
it's check, and the "All" ratio is check this will give you one EPS
containing everything in your document AND one for each artboard.
That why even if you have only one artboard in your situation you
get two eps.
The guy on Adobe goes to explain this:
One advantage or enabling the "Use Artboard" in this dialog even if
you only have one artboard is that Illustrator will create a clipping of
your art to the size of the Artboard itself, so you won't have to worry
about the objects that are outside the artboard. In this scenario, what
you need to do, is enable "Use Artboard" but uncheck the "all" ratio
and enter 1 in the Range field.
This is great information for you if you want to save 1 file only.
Hope this helps to explain the new weird function Adobe Illustrator
CS4 does.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well..
