ExifTool uses this tag to identify Adobe Illustrator files, so it won't allow it to be changed.

If you know of any other way to distinguish this type of file from other Postscript files, let me know.

Hi Phil,

Please find the screenshot attached . while iam opening in Adobe-illustrator facing an issue  .

[Phil Harvey]

So the file opened fine in Illlustrator before you wrote it?  What was the exiftool command you used?  Could you send me the original Illustrator file (philharvey66 at gmail.com)?

Hi phil ,

Please find the command iam using and the version iam using is exiftool-8.61

exiftool -v3 "-Title=123RF_29121084.eps"  "-Subject=Stock Graphic, graphic, stock, 123RF, inforgraphic, Set flat design square icons, business, calculator, calendar, camera, collection, communications, computer, connection, contemporary, data, design, e mail, email, envelope, equipment, film, flat, glass, group, hand, illustration, infographic, interface, internet, label, letter, lock, magnifying, message, mobile, music, network, note, notebook, objects, office, organization, painting, pencil, phone, photo, report, set, shape, sign, simplicity, symbol, technology, telephone, icons,  " "-Rights=Unlimited" "-Creator=media.center2@us.mcd.com" "-ImageSupplierName=" "-ImageCreatorName=" "-CopyrightOwnerName=123RF" "-AdditionalModelInformation=" "-LocationCreatedSublocation=" "-LocationCreatedCity=" "-LocationCreatedProvinceState=" "-LocationCreatedCountryName=Global" "-LocationCreatedWorldRegion=Global^Category Completed" "-PersonInImage=" "-Event=" "-ExportersLoginID=e1223850" "-ExportersLoginName=MEYER, FRAN" "-DateOfExport=Thu Jul 02 2015 01:21:04 GMT-0400 (EDT)" C:\Users\gmekala\Desktop\Exif\123RF_29121084.eps

OK.  Judging from your screen capture, it seems that your version of Illustrator may not support the extended line feature in PostScript files.  I can't verify this right now because I can't run Illustrator here.  I suggest shortening your Subject value, or writing XMP:Subject instead of Subject (which would also write PostScript:Subject, which appears to be causing your problem).

Hi phil,

I tried by using the following command but iam getting the same warning .Please find the command below .For you reference i have attached the asset to this thread .

exiftool -XMP:Subject=Stock C:\Users\gmekala\Desktop\Exif\123RF_29121084.eps.

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks for the sample EPS file, and for the simplified command.  This is an Adobe-3.1 format EPS file, which is written by Illustrator 9 and later, and should be able to support XMP.  What version of Illustrator are you using to read this?  If it is version 9 or later, maybe I should completely disable writing of XMP to Illustrator EPS files.  Currently it is only disabled for older (Adobe-3.0 format, Illustrator 8 and earlier) EPS files.

Hi Phill,

Thanks for your help .Iam using Adobe Illustrato-cs6 of version 16.0.0 .

[Phil Harvey]

OK, thanks.  I will look into this to see if I can figure out the problem.  I hope there is a trial version of AI 16.0.0 that I can use.

- Phil

[Phil Harvey]

I finally got a trial version of Illustrator working, but unfortunately the file you sent is not the original EPS file.  Could you please upload the original (working) version of the file?  Thanks.

- Phil

[Govind]

Hi phil,

Thanks for your support , That is the original file which i shared earlier .

[Phil Harvey]

No.  The file you posted had already been edited with ExifTool

I think what I'll probably do is just disable writing of AI EPS files completely, just to be safe.
