I have a client who brought in a disk with a version 9 AI file.
I tried to import it through Corel 4 & 9 and also SignLab, but I get file errors.
Can someone open, then save as an earlier version for me?
Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Pat,
If Jimmy's doesn't work feel free to send it my way.

I have been wrestling with AI9 files for a couple of months. It seems that 9 files are using .pdf architecture as opposed to earlier versions that were based on .eps structure. I have found that I can open these files ONLY in AI9 then export to a lower version like 5.5, and my other programs can import it then.
Also noticing that Corel10 files are being stubborn. Even when a 10 file is exported as a .ai it is not wanting to open in anything but Corel10.
Just some observations, If I can help open anything, just let me know.

I just sent a broshure to the printers. Used Corel 10, chose the "save as" option. Then selected "Illustrator 7" as the version and text as curves. Opens up fine in Illustrator 9 and fine in Corel 10 as well.
