    You’ve probably been sent a file that originated from an apple Macintosh.

    "Right click" the file and check its properties. If it doesn’t say it is an .eps file then re-name it as such – then you should be able to open it in Signlab or Corel.

    Renaming it as a pdf as Dave suggested should also work.
