I'm pretty sure when I used to save an EPS file in Illustrator CS5.5 it would include the artboard but now when I save as an EPS file it crops the document to the edge of the graphics/objects instead of the whole page. I've been trying to find the answer all day on Google with no luck. I found a work-around by placing non-filled squares in opposite corners but I'm sure there is an option to simply include the artboard.

How do I include the artboard when saving an Illustrator file as an EPS in CS5.5?

Thank you in advance. This is driving me crazy!

Draw a rectangle the size of your artboard. Set it to have no fill and no stroke.

That empty rectangle will define the area of the illustration.

There's no real method to force third party software to see artboard dimensions. Some applications, such as Adobe InDesign, will allow you to define an import by art, media, trim, bleed, etc. But not all software does that.
