I received an EPS file of 183MB in size, and I would like to convert it into JPEG for viewing, but Coreldraw crashes during the import, bringing up the ARM. I can open it with Illustrator, but couldn't export it, getting insufficient memory message no matter how small the output JPEG size and resolution is.
I've had same issue with importing EPS file into X5 in the past, but usually will be successful after a few tries. But this time it simply crashes every single time.

Hello MT Studio; I would think it has to be something in the computer like maybe the anti virus or fire wall. Is that the only format you are having trouble with?
My Thoughts George
Hi George,
Same situation with antivirus and firewall turned off.
I'm always having difficult time with large EPS files (usually containing bitmap).Once a while with large AI files but not always.
Hi Bill,
Try with Photoshop, after being unresponsive for almost 5 minutes, I got this:"Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript".The temporary workaround I can think of, and works, is to export as PDF from Illustrator, and save as JPEG from Acrobat. But the JPEG result is not very nice.
Try converting to curves and then make "PDF" or "PNG" .I don't have much luck with putting raster and vector to gether in a EPS file either.

You can try to create PDF file from EPS directly in Acrobart - Create PDF - from File. And then import into Corel Draw.
Best regards

Hi Mek,
Oh I didn't realize I could do that directly with Acrobat. Thanks for the idea.
It took very long for Acrobat to create the PDF, about 15-20mins.
However, the resulting JPEG is almost the same as the one I created earlier, except the color is more vibrant (not so dull in comparison).
Thanks again.
Michael,
try check setting of Adobe Distiller as PDF is created as per selected settings. Of course final "quality" depends on datas in eps file.
When PDF converted to Jpeg you can also set up quality of jpeg (level of compression and resolution).
Did you try to import pdf to Corel Draw?
Best regards,
Hi Mek, I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to open the PDF and save as JPEG. I did not use Distiller.
Since I can save to JPEG directly using Acrobat, is there any advantage import it into CorelDraw and export to JPEG from CorelDraw?
Anyway, I think the JPEG I get should be fine for output as it's a backdrop.
Distiler is used on background. I thought to import PDF file made from EPS into Corel Draw. This would allow to change editing of vector objects and changing of bitmaps if necessary..
Anyway I am glad that it worked for you.
I don't need to change anything on the EPS, just need to convert it into JPEG.
Still wondering whether there are known issues of CorelDraw importing large EPS. Had this situation on X5 too.
There is a limit to the maximum size of a bitmap in CorelDraw (I think 30,000 pixels wide or high), so if the bitmap in the EPS file exceeds that size then it would not be possible to import that bitmap.
