Why is my Illustrator file so big, the EPS file is only bound?

I have a file in Illustrator CS4. I have a file EPS 20 MB that I placed a link in it. When I go to save it, the Illustrator file is 100 MB!

Why is this happening? Am not checking the correct settings when you save the Illustrator file?

Please notify. Thank you!

Please try to uncheck "Create a PDF Compatible file" when you save the Illustrator file.

If you select this check box (the default is selected), Illustrator saves PDF data with embedded EPS data.

Maybe your linked EPS data is compressed, and then 20 MB on the desktop, but not compressed in PDF or less compress does cause huge size.

  • Why is my illustrator file exported pixelated?

    Hi all

    I created a logo in illustrator, but every time that I exported the image or images and logos of text they appeared pixelated.  I also tried the options "save for web" and nothing seems to have worked.  Is there something that will help with this problem?

    Unlike the vector illustrations, pixel still images have a resolution fixed and can not be resized or zoomed without loss of quality. It's just the nature of the thing. Here you have a fundamental misunderstanding. Aside from that, people usually make a mess in designing is not their spec files, in this case in particular which means using the correct DPI settings. A document 300 DPI will be of course different when resampled to 72 DPI to save for Web. Check these things and then act accordingly.

  • Where are stored the mobile drawing Illustrator files for later use in Illustrator Desktop?

    Hello

    who can tell me, where are stored files from vector to the Illustrator Mobile draw for later use in Illustrator Desktop? In the cloud, there is only the .png and .jpg files. The files are sent immediately to the office, but when I want to use them later, I can not find them more.

    There is a file PushToDesktop in the record in support of the Application that contains all the files.

    BUT: you can just open in Illustrator. They need to be pushed.

    The dashed lines in my Illustrator file deform when I copy/paste the in Excel. Otherwise, the image is fine. What I am doing wrong?

    The lines end up looking much bigger than they were initially.

    I am using the paste special option in Excel and it works fine for all parts of the image, but this.

    Someone suggested I try to use the Mode plotted, but who has not made a difference when I tried.

    The map view wouldn't make any difference, so more clarification is needed on your workflow.

    Why it's not working for you save the image as a png image in Illustrator and then insert it correctly as a picture in Excel?

    What are you trying to make to it after that's in Excel? If the PNG workflow does not work for you, then explain your workflow. It might help to know if you're Mac or Windows and the version numbers and maybe screenshots.

  • Why my Illustrator text extends outside the frame

    When you export a PDF file, I have the text in an imported Illustrator file extends beyond the limit of the InDesign frame. This is only compatible on an edge (top) and I need this map (of said folder Illustrator) to cut the neatline (says limit InDesign frame). Why is this suddenly a problem and How can I solve it?

    Other important information:

    The map looks in good condition in the display high resolution in InDesign, but the text extends beyond the neatline (frame) when exporting to PDF.

    I found that the outline defined delimitation or not in Illustrator has no effect.

    Here's the view:

    Neatline_issue.PNG

    Any suggestions are welcome with gratitude!

    Your question (Laubender: How was the place document recorded?) (What are the options serve?) may have led to a solution:

    I went through the motions and related to the image of the map... found this unfamiliar "background transparency" option.

    When I unchecked the box and then exported, the problem disappeared. Looks like an unexpected consequence, do not seem to recall this option in earlier versions of the code.

    Thank you very much, and as long as it works I am running.

  • Illustrator can not read the linked Photoshop files.

    For the last few weeks, all my files with linked Photoshop files were unable to open. I must point out that they contain all of the Photoshop files with spot channels and are a mix between CMYK and RGB. Spot channels are what I need. I use files PSD place archaic DCS2.0 .eps files to save space on the disk. For almost a year which was absolutely perfect, no problem. Now I can't open a file without getting an error 'File can not be read' and then we close the file immediately, without the possibility to recreate a link to a new file or anything like that. This results in me having to create a new DCS2.0 file and the original illustrator file from scratch. VERY FRUSTRANT and plenty of time to say the least.

    This does not happen with the psd files with no channel spot, than those who have channels spots.

    Illy is why all of a sudden?

    I have clients waiting to draw accurate repetition of their designs, and now they will be slightly off because I have to redo all the files. I dread the day that I find one that can not be done again.

    Operating system: Win7 x 86

    CS5 Design Premium

    Illustrator v15.0.2

    If you need more information, please let me know - I would like ot fix this and back using psd with spot-it channels files was not only allowing me to save space, but also for letting me use the transparency and was faster to load/save.

    Did you add Pantone + color system to your color book?

    I had the same problem and it is solved by removing any reference Pantone + book color and remove my prefrences illustrator. This can mean relocation of illustrator. Aparently Illustrator can read only a system of colors at once and if there is a spot color that does not recognize the color book that he will not place the image.

    How can I change on Safari and Chrome?

    Thank you very much and excuse me if my English is not very good.

    If you go to Finder > Preferences > sidebar , you will see there is no option for Safari > bookmarks, but you can send a link from Safari.

    In your Safari menu bar, click file > share > Email.

    For Chrome, you may need to use a Goole Chrome for sharing.

  • Why my Illustrator file linked with an opacity mask to my Indesign file a washed out appearance?

    I have an indesign this work of Illustrator related uses of the file. The illustrator files contain opacity masks, and when I import into my layout indesign they give the bottom of the pages a washed out appearance. I noticed that the page in my project Indesign who doesn't have opacity masks linked seems fine.

    So, I know that the opacity mask is performing the indesign document somehow but I don't know how to solve the problem. I tried merging the texture in the opacity mask, flattening of the illustration illustrator, paste the illustrator shape directly on the page, save the work as a PNG; but nothing seems to work.

    Here is a picture of the page with the related work.

    Here is one of how the page should look like.

    Here is the configuration of my illustration illustrator opacity mask. Its basically a group of white textures I pasted in the opacity mask. It's a single layer.

    If anyone has any ideas or ideas, I would be happy. I hope I have provided enough details.

    Thank you for all your help. I thought about it. I did the background texture in photoshop and converted to grayscale. Turns out I should have converted to CMYK. Once I did this everything unified in my indesign document.

    Kind of a moment of c ' h but good.

    Thanks again for all the quick responses.

Assume that the file is called file.ai - when I'm working on that and go: Cmmand record - he said: ' replace file1.ai? I don't want to replace - simply record. What happens to me every few weeks in artificial intelligence. And it is a file that was NOT an older file - as I posted this Q once first before - and got no answer.

  • Why my Illustrator files will not be imported correctly?

    Hello

    I have a problem. I work in CS2, Hey Yes still in CS2... But this isn't the point my problem is that whenever I try to place an Illustrator file into another file Illustrator the imported file does not appear as one of my files related... In addition, I also something like a second bounding around her box. DOE - anyone have any idea what it might be, is that what I forgot something and maybe changed a setting? Help, please. Down below, I placed a picture of how it looks with extra encompassing (or something) and you can see that it does not show in the related files.
