EPS FIle. Can't Open Please Help

**dduran** · 24 August 2009, 07:47 PM

Need help? I received this logo from one of my employees and I need to insert it on to our web page. I've tried to open it but I get this error. "A read error occurred (unknown) with the file ThermoPureLogo EPS

They've resent me the file twice now and still can't open it.

Can someone take a look and see if they get the same error or if you can open it can you send it back in Xara Document

Thanks
Danny

Nope, this file cant be opened even in illustrator

Something wrong in the moment of sending

Thanks for the quick response. I'll go back to the source and have them resend a new file.

Tried with AI and others with no joy. But the file was made with Freehand 8.0 apparently, perhaps somebody with that can have a go? I'm attaching the text file FWIW

Hm, its seems its saved as Freehand EPS, not like Encapsulated postcript

becouse, yes, freehand can open it, exported again as normal Encpsulated Postcript (EPS) and now opened without any problems in Illustrator

Yeah, weird. I tried CorelDRAW X4 which can usually open anything with no luck. Same with Photoshop CS4. No luck with either.

I long since dumped Freehand. Interesting.
