Exporting as EPS or AI

[Liora]

I want to upload some graphics to a stock image site. One of the requirements is:

To ensure maximum compatibility, please save your vectors for a lower Illustrator version (for example: Illustrator 10).

When I choose export and then EPS as the file type, it just exports without the usual choices found in PNG or JPEG. Is there a way to open up some kind of specifications box?

thank you,

Liora

Try opening the file in NotePad. You should be able to read the creating version.

Is it possible to export a PDF file? PDF is one of two default file types native to Illustrator and can generally be opened and edited in Illustrator.

The stock sites require EPS for the vector format.

Interesting point ... open a recent AI file in Notepad and you'll see "PDF". .ai files appear to be PDF internally now and the native format is always PDF in recent versions.

you could try saving it as versiion 10 ai

then opening this and exporting as eps without any further changes

in theory that should filter out anything later than version 10..... I reckon that is what is meant here
