Hello All,

New to Affinity Designer. I'm trying to open my .ai files, and while Designer is reading things fine, none of the labels (on layers/objects/etc) seem to transfer over. Is there something I'm missing? I get sent a lot of .ai files, and can't go through every one and relabel every item. Thanks!!

Hi @Capture It Photography,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums :)

Our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we're currently working through a backlog of tickets, so many thanks for your patience and understanding.

As can be seen in the below threads, this is unfortunately a limitation of Illustrator - when exporting to the .Ai format and importing into Affinity, we actually read embedded PDF data, rather than the Ai file itself. Illustrator will only export the layer names for the 'top' layers. You can find out more about this below -

I hope this clears things up!
