CS2 message: "Clipping Path Limited Reached for TIFF Preview"

[n***@adobeforums.com]

I searched the forum and knowledge base and did not find answers than can help me with a message I received while saving my Illustrator CS2 .ai file to .eps file. The message said "Clipping Path Limited Reached For TIFF Preview". The file size is 500KB and is a chart of black and white symbols. The chart is 52 squares wide X 126 squares long, each square 1pt each.

I had split the chart into 2 separate files and the message appeared again before finishing the save to .eps format. I am running Wins XP and just recently upgraded to 2gig of memory.

Would anyone know what this message means? Any help is appreciated.

I don't know exactly what that message means (or what one would have to do in Illustrator to get it to appear), but you might try saving without the TIFF preview. (Select "none" under the preview section when you are in the EPS options dialog box.)

A potential problem with that workaround (assuming it helps at all) is that some applications rely on the low-res TIFF preview for on-screen representation. EPS artwork with no preview, in such cases, will usually be represented by a nondescript placeholder box. Output to a PostScript device, however, will be unaffected.

I checked "none" under preview section and it saved to .eps without the message popup. I thought I would try again to save in the default (8-bit color) and that saved successfully without warning message. I'm thinking it might be a memory problem. Thanks.

I am getting the same error. To trouble shoot the problem, I saved a copy of my document and then deleted different elements and saved again until I found the culprit. Turned out it was a column of text. Nothing special about the box, no special shapes. Only using tabs to set the bullets properly. Anyone else having issues with text causing a "Clipping Path Limited Reached for TIFF Preview" in Illustrator CS6?
