AI(illustrator) import problem...
Hi, I am trying to import my .AI(illustrator) company logo into XARA Xtreme Pro (3.2.4.3017), but it is not importing this correct, the colors are wrong and some details are wrong ( see picture, left is the correct logo from Illustrator and right is after trying to import to XARA )
Anyone now how to fix this?
Thansk in advance!
/Andreas

Use PDF between Adobe Illustrator and Xara Xtreme. The .AI import/export filters are not good enough.

Give us a bit more information or give us the .ai file so we can try to help.
Which version of Illustrator do you have?
Which version .ai are you saving as?
Try saving the .ai as an older version.

The logo is so simple it seems like it would be much easier and take less time just to recreate it in Xtreme. Just copy vector shapes over your imported jpeg
image and you're done!

Yes, I know but I have around 800 drawing/logos in Illustator and no time, and XARA should be able to import this...

Hmm - only thing that works for me is copy'n'paste from AI CS3 to XaraXtreme.
I tried all versions of .AI, PDF, EPS and even SVG to Inkscape and out to PDF from IS.
CorelDrawX3 says' I/O error for the file and PDF's give the same result as Xara.
Re: AI(illustrator) import problem...
Andreas your file is not an ai file. It is actually a pdf file with an ai file extension. Change the name of the file to icon_05.pdf and it should import correctly into Xara Xtreme Pro.

Bill, hehe - I tried that too, same problem. XXP imports it hollowed out.
Also, as the file does contain some raster object data, the cop'n'paste method seems to work the best at this time.
Just a note, that since CS, .ai files include PDF compatibility as seen in the header:
Code:
%PDF-1.4

Re: AI(illustrator) import problem...
Thanks Steve. I'm at work without Xara :( and could not test the import. Using Notepad and Adobe Reader to look at the file. In Notepad it does appear that the only vector data is for the outlines of the two shapes. The raster data may be bitmap fills for the two shapes.
