Yet another ai file
This seems to be the week when everyone is having problems opening illustrator files.
This is the third version sent to me – I’ve tried it using Casmate, Signlab and Corel draw 9 – none of them are working.
The designer tells me it was originaly created in photoshop – then exported as an illustrator file. All fonts have been converted to curves, and I am assured that this is not a rendered image.
Can anyone help me with this please

OOps – Here it is:-
-
I have tried it in Photoshop 7, Illustrator 9 & Corel 10. It looks like the file is corrupt.
-
Ahh, I did get something into Signlab e6 though, it has millions of control points. Not sure how much use it will be.
Bugger won’t let me attach stuff again.

Your going to have fun with this. 😀
The outlines are there, but they have no stroke or fill. I’ve left it alone and just saved it as I found it.
Opened in Illustrator 10, but saved as 8 because I don’t know what version you can open.

I have emailed Phill pretty much the same thing accross, I did seperate the different parts for him though! 😛
-
When I opened it I didn’t get an excessive number of control points, but no doubt Phill will use whichever suits him best.
-
Probably yours by the sounds of it then!
Mind you when I import yours into Signlab I get bundles of points too 😮
-
Strange.
The number of points on the letters looks fine. Just what I would expect.
The points on the rest of it looks about right too, although it looks like it was a scanned from a 10 dpi bitmap. 😀
Have you tried opening in Illustrator?
-
I only have version 9, it won’t go into that. The only program it will go into here is Signlab 6. On yours & mine the lower case I for example has at least 100 points!

Fifteen incuding the dot. 😀
I think that the problem is that the strokes are not straight lines, but very slight curves, and whereas Illustrator 10 loads them as such whatever you are using is probably trying to put them in as a load of short straight lines.

Thanks for all your help Brian, John (and Martin who phoned me). I have something I can work with now. 😕
This came from a Graphic designer which is what started me off yesterday 😆
