Adobe Illustrator/Auto Outline?

Question
I'm actually using V10 but thought that you might have an answer for me anyway... Lately everytime I save my eps file, it automatically outlines everything... When I go back to the file to revise it, I basically have to start from scratch. When I start a project, when I select something with the pointer, the image box is blue, but after I save and Illustrator has outlined everything, the image box is red. Any ideas?

Thanks Much,

Adam

Answer
Hi Adam,

I just thought of something - are you by chance saving back to version 8 compatible when you save as EPS?

Check your EPS options during a 'save as' to make sure that you are not.  This will produce the error you're experiencing.

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
