CS6

If you attempt opening an Illustrator CC EPS file in Illustrator CS6 you get an error message that this file was created using a newer version of Illustrator.

So what can one do to open such a file?

Open the EPS file using the Acrobat X and save it to the PDF format.

Then open this PDF file using Adobe Illustrator CS6, and, voila, this is it. [node:read-more:link]
