Exporting artworkYou can export artwork in a variety of file formats for use outside of Illustrator. These formats are called non-native formats because Illustrator will not be able to retrieve all of the data if you reopen the file in Illustrator. Each format is distinguished by the way it represents graphic information. Some non-native file formats can contain only vector drawings or only bitmap images; others can include both in the same file.
To export artwork in a non-native format:
Note: If the format you want to use is not available, you may need to install the format's plug-in module. (See Customizing your Illustrator workspace.) With some file formats, a dialog box appears. For more information, see the following format-specific sections. Related Subtopics: |
