importing eps files into keynote (or pages)

hi,
i'm running keynote 3 and used to have no trouble at all simply dragging (or importing) eps graphic files into keynote presentations. then for no apparent reason i lost the ability to do this and now when i try to import any eps files, keynote just hangs.
can anyone help?

njmitham,

welcome to Apple Discussions.

EPS files are converted to PDF when you drag them to keynote. The same happens when you open the EPS file with Preview.app.

So, try to open the EPS file with Preview and see what happens. It might not be a Keynote problem but a problem with an image library.

Well, njmitham,

so I think you have a general problem with images, not just a Keynote (or Pages) problem.

Please check in your Console.app (in Utilities folder) for (crash) logs referring to your EPS file. A good point to start at seem to bee Keynote logs or Preview logs.
