I have a 400k .eps file that I am trying to open in PhotoShop 9.0. I get the error message "Could not complete your request because the parser module cannot parse the file". What does that mean?

Can anyone help me open the file and save it in another format?

Thanks.

What it means is that Photoshop can not understand the file, or possibly that the file is not really an EPS at all.

For starters, open the EPS in a plain text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. EPS files are text; you should see some headers on the screen that look like this:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%Creator: [the name of the program that made the EPS]
%%Title: [the name of the EPS file]
%%CreationDate: [the date it was made]
%%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
%%DocumentFonts: Times-Roman
%%DocumentData: Binary
%%LanguageLevel: 1
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 2041 85

and so on. Do you see this? If so, what does it say the document creator is?
