Hello!

I imported some EPS images (by reference) in a frammaker document. The resolution of the images is not good. I don't have the same problem with bitmap images. What can I do?

Another problem is that I cannot open the EPS images (created with Adobe Illustrator CS3) in an older version of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator doesn't allow to save files in an older version, just EPS format. Is it normal?

Thank you.

Bye.

Frame shows you the preview, not the actual vector content. Print to a 
Postscript printer or make a PDF if you want to get a better look. Don't 
worry about what it looks like on your monitor.

Who told you Illustrator won't save down? From CS3, File > Save As > 
Version. Older versions of Illustrator put this functionality in File > 
Export > Legacy file (or something like that). Of course, you will get 
mixed results opening EPS files in Illustrator. Some open, some don't, 
some open poorly. I've saved Illustrator EPS files and then not been 
able to open them. I always advise people to save in AI, when finished 
with the drawing, save as to EPS.

Hello,

thank you for your answer. Unfortunately we couldn't solve the problem.
Here what it happens if we try to export: <http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/6900/exportkf1.jpg>
and if we try to "save as": <http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/5823/saveasjh6.jpg>

No older version of Illustrator is available.
Please note that source file was an .EPS file created by an older version (2005 maybe).

What can we do now? we're desperate...
Thanks for helping us!
Bye

Verena,

You need to go one step further. When you do a File > Save As, you get the dialog box you showed. When you click Save, Illustrator displays another dialog box with save options, one of which is to save to an older format. This works when saving in the AI format or in the EPS format.

So, click Save and then select your options.

Van
