Adobe Illustrator Can't open the illustration

Working in AI 10.3 on a Mac, opened a file to update, Save, closed and later tried re-opening the file and got the following message: Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an incomplete or garbled object description.

offending operator: ','

(Art Brush) /Title ,

The same file will get the same message in AI CS on this or any other Mac in the office. Clicking the ok button will open the file but the is nothing shown in the window besides the basic AI screen.

(We are using AI 10 due to compatiblity issue between us and our vendors.)
Is there away to repair this file or get the data out of it? This is a project that is still in progress.



The Mac OS is 10.3.9
G5 with 1.5gb Ram
160gb hd

The File server is a XServe running 10.4.3

I can't help, but aren't you using something like Time Machine?

If time machine isn't a help, upload the file. You may need to zip it to attach it. If over the forum limit, upload to dropbox.com or the like and provide a download link.

Watch the file size that could be causing the problem but do as Mike asks and upload your file some where.
