Adobe Illustrator (AI)

The Adobe Illustrator (AI) file format was developed by Adobe Systems, Incorporated for the Macintosh and Windows platforms. It is primarily vector-based, although later versions support bitmap information.

You can import AI files for use in CorelDRAW or export CorelDRAW files to the AI file format. Before exporting a document as an AI file, you can preflight your document to find potential problems. Preflighting checks and displays a summary of errors, possible problems, and suggestions for resolving issues. By default, many AI issues are checked during a preflight, but you can disable the issues that you do not want to check.

3 .	Choose AI - Adobe Illustrator from the Save as type list box.

6 .	From the Compatibility list box, choose an Adobe Illustrator file format.

7 .	In the Export range area, enable one of the following options:

•

Selection — exports the objects that you have selected

•

Pages — exports the pages that you specify (This option is only available for CS 4 and later versions.)

8 .	In the Export text as area, enable one of the following options:

•

Curves — lets you export text as curves

•

Text — lets you export text as editable characters

You can also
Convert transparent areas to bitmaps	In the Transparency area, enable the Preserve appearance and convert transparent areas to bitmaps option. (This option is only available for version 8 and lower.)
Discard transparent areas and preserve curves and text	In the Transparency area, enable the Preserve curves and text by removing transparent effects option. (This option is only available for version 8 and lower.)
Convert an outline to an object to create an unfilled closed object with the outline's shape	In the Options area, enable the Convert outlines to objects check box.
Convert complex outlines to curves	In the Options area, enable the Simulate complex filled curves check box.
Convert spot colors to process colors	In the Options area, enable the Convert spot colors to CMYK check box.
Embed the color profile	In the Options area, enable the Embed color profiles check box.
Generate a preview of the document in the Adobe Illustrator File open dialog box	In the Options area, enable the Include preview images check box.

If you enable the Simulate complex filled curves check box, an object that is composed of complex curves, such as a text object that was converted to curves, may be broken into several objects on export to help minimize the complexity of the object.

If you disable the Include placed images check box and export the file, the exporting process generates one Adobe Illustrator file and a series of EPS files. The EPS files contain individual objects and images which are linked to the AI file. Always store the EPS files with the AI file to preserve the link to the AI file.

3 .	Choose AI - Adobe Illustrator from the Save as type list box.

6 .	In the Adobe Illustrator Export dialog box, click the second tab.

You can save settings by clicking the Add preflight settings button and typing a name in the Save preflight style as box.

Most linear and radial fountain fills are preserved. Conical and square fountain fills are exported as a series of filled bands, an effect similar to that achieved by blending. You can set the number of bands by clicking Tools Options. In the Workspace list of categories, click Display, and type a number in the Preview fountain steps box. The maximum number of bands supported is 256.
