FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art

[David Spreadbury]

Richard,I use 7.2 and have no problem importing .ai files, as well as .eps into both Structured and Unstructured FM7.2 files.
But, back to the original question, if Arlyn needs to edit the Illustrator CS6 files, and doesn't have the CS6 version, yes, the originator would have to save then source in a version that she has.

I recall reading somewhere (probably this list) that it sometimes works if you use the EPS filter, but it's not supported/recommended. Save the Illustrator images as EPS (with TIFF preview) or PDF and import that. SVG might be another option, if AI supports saving as that. Obviously, you wouldn't want to convert those lovely scalable graphics into bitmaps.
