mchambers Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I have FP text and image objects that are layered on top of another background FP image. The text objects and raster images display both in preview and composed pdf but 2 placed vector eps's do not. Whether I link directly to the eps in Acrobat or use a Rule to insert still nothing. In the same graphic window if I select a raster image it displays perfectly. Do eps's need to be handled differently?

David Miller Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 EPS is rapidly becoming an outdated file format. Suggest saving them as PDF and see if you have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Are there any messages about the EPS in the composition log (.msg) file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchambers Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I've been testing with some progress... As eps's they still do not show up in preview but when composed they started showing up (not certain why) but scaled to the page size in Illustrator not the bounding box of the art. I saved as pdf and they started showing up in preview but with the same scaling issue. Is there something in a rule that can force looking at the bounding instead of the page?

David Miller Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Can you collect the template in a ZIP archive and upload to this thread? First, be sure to add the graphic resources that are giving you trouble via the Resource Editor. Don't include fonts.

David Miller Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sorry. Having trouble unzipping the file. There seems to be a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchambers Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sorry for the lack of follow through but I got it working and production took over. To resolve the issue of saving an Illustrator eps as pdf and the pdf holding onto the page size as opposed to the bounding box, within Acrobat in the Crop Pages dialog, selecting "remove white margins" crops the document to the bounding box of the object. Once the bounding was corrected the files showed up in all previews and final files. The only thing to watch for is when uploading files to MarcomCentral you will need to deselect the placed pdfs because MC will error indicating only one pdf can be uploaded and that being the template itself.
