Saving an EPS file hangs Illustrator

When I save a file to EPS, Illustrator either takes forever to save it or hangs and I have to kill it and restart. Saving to an AI file isn't a problem.

    Having exact same problem..is there a fix?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've had a 5-10 minute-long saving issue since updating to Mojave (and another Mojave update). My "normal" files don't have an issue, but I also have to save very basic shapes in --Illustrator 8-- format for import to 3D software. VERY simple files for extrusion.
    I've tried in Illustrator 2019, 2018 & 2015. They all have the same random saving issue with older formats. I tried turning off PDF-compatible, didn't work, also pausing CC file syncing - didn't work.

    Just so you will also know, it's on a Mac Mini running Mojave, 8GB DDR3, Illustrator CC 23.0.1
