FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art

[Ivan David Vaseekaran]

Hi Steve,

I checked with the Illustrator team - and they inform me that CS6 will back save. However, if you use a feature that is available in CS6 and not in CSpreviousversion, then, when you open the file in the CSpreviousversion, elements created using the newer features of CS6 will not be available for editing and manipulation. I believe they're 'flattened'.

Save as EPS might be your best bet if you are running into problems. That's the format that was more commonly used from Illustrator back then.

Will they need to back save to a previous version? I vaguely recall hearing about art import issues, but maybe that was with earlier versions of FM. Thanks!

But yes, FrameMaker 7 can import .ai files - at least those from CS2, which is what I have here. Or at least he Mac version can: I don't know about Windows FrameMaker. I have v 10, but as yet no machine to run it on.
