Hi all,

I got a lot vectors rejected by an agency and the reason is

Other concerns. Legacy Artboards: Make sure the artboards box is not checked when saving

I email them for more information and i was told:

We're sorry for any confusion. It looks as though much of your vector submission included this "Legacy Artboard prompt" or dialog box upon opening your files.

If you are using CS3 then what might be happening is that the file isn't being saved correctly.

You may want to check your options in "Save As." When you save your file to an eps format there is a small box to the left (in both mac and PC versions) that says "Use Artboards." Make sure that box is not checked and hit save. By leaving the box unchecked your image should open with out any issue.

I tried to google and check my CS3 save as option, i just don't see that 'use artboards' check slot. what could be the reason? i have no problems for all these files to be accepted in other agencies.

anyone can help? i am using ai CS3..

thank you.

here are some screenshots and more help from the adobe site

I also think the problem is on the agency's end, as the OP did not have problems posting to any other site.

What agency are we talking about here? I think the problem is at their part.

It's Veer, he asked on another thread, and Ryan told him to email him directly, instead of posting the answer on this forum so that everyone might be able to benefit from it.

Hmm... I'm not sure. What kind of file are you saving it to? EPS version 8?

Hi mtkang --

Adobe Illustrator CS - CS3 had the option of having multiple crops on a single artboard. Adobe Illustrator CS4 moved to multiple artboards rather than multiple crops. Neither multiple crops nor multiple artboards are supported by the wide range of vector programs used by our customers, so we ask contributors not to use them.

I think I've found a solution for users of Adobe Illustrator CS - CS3. Choose Object-->Crop-->Release. This will remove the cropping from the illustration, and the customer will not be prompted by the Legacy Artboards prompt. Users of Adobe Illustrator CS4 can make sure that the Use Artboard option is unchecked in the Save As dialogue box when they're saving their EPS files.

Hope this helps.

By the way, how should one crop the image? i usually use the crop tool and use photoshop to open the eps files for jpg image.
