When you using a Mac and Safari the new Version will not download EPS Vector files and will instead open them as PDF-File in a new Window

If your Apple Safari Browser on Mac just won't let you download our EPS Vector files anymore into your download folder, then this is the solution. Sometimes it is shown as PDF-File instead and even opens in another Safari window. This seems to appear after an update on the Safari browser.

Here is how you can fix it: 

  1. Uncheck "Open "safe" files after downloading. This will prevent that Safari opens the EPS file as "PDF" which is wrong. Instead it will download the file like before and you can open it with your preferable software like Adobe Illustrator.

  2. Make sure to define a "File download location". It will help you to locate the file you have just downloaded.

Here is a screenshot of the Safari settings menu:

If you still have problems, let us know. This seems to be a browser problem and we can not do anything to fix it. Please contact Apple for more questions.
