Hi, I have an issue that makes my work flow for converting Adobe Illustrator files to AD tedious. I used AI for web graphics and I used multiple artboards for each image When I open an AI file (everything shows up fine) I then go into the Document Settings to make changes. However, all AI files that I open, are in the "Print" mode and I can't change it to Web. See screen below So, trying to convert it to AD will not work. And When I go To Export... I only get the Print Persona.... no artboards show up, just one page with all artboards on it... just like you would do if you were doing a print project. The only way I can make this work is create a new Web Project. However, I then have to basically recreate the artboards and copy/cut & paste into my new web document. This is tedious... because I have over 200 AI files I used for web graphics.... yuck How do I change the AI file to a WEB project?? Thanks

Hello, My name is Frank; I am a freelancer under the name Pixelink Media. I do graphic design, as well as video, desktop publishing, web design and multimedia animation. I have been an Adobe CC subscriber for the last 2 years, and after the horrible PR and customer support of CC, and the fact that so many bugs are not being fixed. If you visit Adobe forums, you will see all the enraged people. Adobe just don't care about it's users. I have decided to start gathering other software programs and replacing CC. When I ran across Affinity Designer and gave it a spin... I was like... okay... this will replace Illustrator. And even though the current version is missing some AI features... AD has enough to make the switch. Affinity Designer is much easier to use than AI.... enough said!!! I have almost all my apps in place before I cut ties with CC. I currently own CorelDraw so that takes care of Photo Editing, Tracing vector (even though it's not as good as AI), and desktop publishing. I am seeing that Affinity Publisher is on the Horizon, and I may get the Affinity Photo too. One app I think you guys may want to tackle down the road is replacing Adobe Animate. There is an app that is the closest to it called Soalo Animate... but it is missing some key features for true Web Animation. I am looking forward to Affinity being my main software chain... everything is looking great! Keep up the great work and you will see more people ditching that Adobe CC nonsense.
