Question
Adobe Illustrator 10 for PC

I noticed that sometimes when an Adobe Illustrator file is saved as an eps, the graphic gets cut off on the left hand side so that a circle for example would have a straight edge on the left.  How can I avoid this?  Thanks!

Hi Perry,

This is a new one on me.  If this happens often then there may be a corruption somewhere along the line.  My suggestions is if you don't have to save as an .eps leave it as a .ai format.  Unless you need it to bring the file into another program like Quark or some other page layout program.
Are you trying to save down to version 9?  Sometimes when you save down and reopen the file it changes some things (usually a type font problem).
sorry I couldn't be more helpful but I tried to duplicate the problem on my PC and wasn't able to do it.  

Thank you,

Tom
