Illustrator Scripting - RasterItems.Add

[Göran_Cassel@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to run Illustrator from Visual Basic to build ads (text and graphics) from a database.

I get an "Internal Error" when trying to import a EPS file (cmyk bitmap saved in PhotoShop) into Illustrator. Importing a JPG file works fine.

Dim iDoc As Illustrator.Document
....
Dim Itm As Illustrator.RasterItem
....
Set Itm = iDoc.RasterItems.Add
....
Itm.File = "C:\test.jpg"
Works OK
Itm.File = "C:\test.eps"
Gives "Internal Error"

I've tried importing (File/Place) the EPS in manually in Illustrator and it works fine. It's only when importing it via the script I get the error.

I use Illustrator 11 on WinXP.

Any ideas?
