Fwd: Resend: Converting older Illustrator AI format
(Sorry for the duplicate post -- first msg was sent before I was subscribed)
I have some files in Illustrator's AI format (from Illustrator version 8 I believe). According to the Inkscape wiki, only AI version 9 or later can be opened by Inkscape.
Does anyone know of a conversion tool that can open my v8 AI files and convert them into a format that Inkscape can open?
Thanks, Michael
Hi, Mike,
Obviously the best tool is Adobe Illustrator version 9-CS3 ;)

Corel Draw (starting from version 10 if I remember well) can do the job, and it can export to SVG or PDF (Inkscape 0.46 devel builds have a very nice and robust PDF importer)
Unfortunately I don't know of a freeware or opensource alternative that can handle AI v.8 files...

These old versions of the format are some kind of postscript. So you can try to import them as PS, or use ghostscript's ps2pdf to convert to pdf and then import.
