Here’s the situation….<\/p>\n
Person X in our office asks Artist X to design a product.
\nArtist X uses Illustrator CS3 (v13) to design the graphics for the product.
\nArtist X sends the design file to Person X who then forwards the file to Print Shop X (the printer\/manufacturer).
\nPrint Shop X is still using Illustrator 10 (how they stay in business I don’t know).
\nAs you might have guessed, Illustrator 10 will not open the newer CS3 files.
\nPerson X then tries to find someone in our office with Illustrator 10 so they can try to open the CS3 file.<\/p>\n
If you followed that – here’s where the breakdown occurs… if Illustrator 10 won’t open an Illustrator CS3 file at one office – why would it open it at another office?<\/p>\n
The key to the solution is – open the file in the original CS3 and save it as an Illustrator 10 file instead of the default CS3 file.<\/p>\n
Then everyone can be happy again.<\/p>\n
So for the two of you who followed that – thanks for letting me vent. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
