Hello!

When I'm trying to Place an object (.ai or .eps), PhotoShop only give me
this message;

" Could not place the document
because PhotoShop was unable
to Parse the PostScript "

And when I try to Open the file, this message will show;

" Cold not open "filename"
because the parser module
cannot parse the file "

Are there anyone out there who can help me?


I'm running PhotoShop 3.0.4/Win95 on a 133Mhz Pentium-PC.
I have tried to re-install PhotoShop, but that did not work...


Thank You!

Actually, I am having the same problem when trying to open up an EPS file
from Freehand. Anybody out there that can help, it would be greatly
appreciated!

I know how frustrating that is! It seems to be Photoshop's
wahy of notifying you that it is having some sort of
problem opening the file.

I have sometimes (repeat... sometimes) had success
using the "Open as..." option, or creating a "New"
document of an appropriate size and resolution and
then using the "Place" option.

Have fun.

Might want to invest in 4.0, it has a much more robust vector import.
