IE Changes EPS to PS Files when Downloading

Monday, November 19th, 2007

EPS file type.

If you plan to link directly to an .EPS or .AI file for downloading (e.g. logos, vector art, etc.) on a website, you should note that Internet Explorer doesn’t correctly handle these postscript files. If you attempt to download an .eps file with IE it will save it as a .ps file and it will save an .ai file as a .pdf. This is not a problem in Firefox or Opera.

The simple solution is to zip these types of files so IE doesn’t change the file extension, and your visitors can download them without problems.
