These steps allow to import older AI files with the help of the UniConvertor tool (bundled with Inkscape on Windows). Note II: Unfortunately, there have been several reports from Windows users that UniConvertor fails to convert the AI file on their system - I'm not sure if a workaround has been discovered yet for this:īug #745997 “'Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below' doesn't work on Windows (XP/7) ("UniConvertor failed")” Note I: Ghostscript is required for PS/EPS files only (the PostScript files get converted to PDF on the file and imported using Inkscape's internal PDF import routines). Inkscape cannot auto-detect the different file formats which use the same ending, thus it is only possible for now from within Inkscape by manually choosing the appropriate file type in the file section dialog ( bug #169749, bug #570527.
The quality of the imported AI file will depend on what features are supported by this external tool.
Inkscape's default AI file import handles the newer PDF-based format only.ģ) Select the file type "Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below (*.ai)" from the file type list in the dialogĤ) browse to the location of your AI file, select it and click on 'Open' The AI file could be in the old PostScript-based format.
