Warning: Can't change Postscript:Creator of Illustrator files

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks.  However, this raises more questions.  If I take this original file and run your command, then AI has no problem with the result.

What version of ExifTool are you running?

Can you reproduce the problem from the original file?

Hi phil ,

We are using Exiftool 8.61 version . Could you try by executing the below command for that asset which i shared previously or i attached to this post

-v3 "-Title=123RF_29121084.eps" "-Description=Stock Graphic Set flat design square icons " "-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=Wed Aug 26 2015 01:52:05 GMT-0400 (EDT)"C:\Users\fmeyer\Desktop\Dlwnd\123RF_29121084.eps .


And you mentioned that you don't get the issue while opening in AI after executing the command.Could you please let me know which version are you using and what is the command you used .

Thanks.  I can reproduce the problem using ExifTool 8.61 and AI 19.0.1.  Unfortunately, Adobe has changed something in the way AI writes XMP to EPS files, and it no longer follows the technique described in the XMP specification.  Until this is sorted out I have have disabled writing of XMP to AI EPS files.  So ExifTool 9.99 and later disables writing of XMP to AI EPS files to avoid this problem.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I've just encountered this on some EPSes I'm trying to update.

Any word on this issue? I've updated to the latest version, 10.04.

Thanks!

[Phil Harvey]

Yes.  ExifTool no longer writes to AI EPS files because it causes problems for AI.  (For some reason, Adobe doesn't stick to their own XMP specification when writing XMP to AI EPS files, and writing standard XMP is apparently a problem.)

Alright, thanks. I'll keep checking back to see if this gets sorted out.

Thanks for a great tool!
