Alfred Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Export as PDF and then rename the exported file from *.pdf to *.ai. The renamed file won't contain any data in the proprietary AI format, of course, but Illustrator should be able to read it.

The guy in China will probably need to edit it because i do a packaging design for a screen protection and the printer company will edit my design so it fits to every phone. can he edit everything (move, scale, edit text) with adobe illustrator?

MikeW Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Are there any bitmap effects in the file? If not, while the person in China will have to release from two to a lot of clipping masks, the renaming thing will work, but no different than just sending the pdf. Rent AI for a month is the best option. If this isn't an ongoing thing, I would be happy to open and save as an AI file for you.

thomaso Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 There are a few online tools which offer the conversion from PDF > AI. An online search for "convert pdf to AI" will show such sites. For instance ... https://convertio.co/de/ai-umwandeln/ https://online-converting.com/vectorize/ Gstaltet 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
