Choosing a format for Illustrator target files
From an Illustrator AI source file, you can create target files in either the bitmap GIF, JPEG, PNG, or WBMP formats, or the vector SVG, SVGZ, and SWF formats. From an Illustrator SVG source file, you can create target files only in the bitmap formats. When you specify an AI source file, you must choose between the bitmap and vector optimized formats. If you choose the bitmap formats, you optimize the file in the Save for Web dialog box. If you choose the vector formats, you optimize the file in Illustrator.
To choose an optimized format for an AI file: - In the Layout Editor, add a Smart Illustrator object
. - In the Basic tab of the Smart Illustrator Image Inspector, reference the AI file in the Source text box.
- In the Conversion Settings dialog box, choose one of the following:
- Bitmap Formats to open the Save for Web dialog box and optimize the file in GIF, JPEG, PNG, or WBMP format.
- SVG or SVG Compressed to open Illustrator and set optimization options in the SVG Options dialog box.
- SWF to open Illustrator and set optimization options in the Macromedia Flash (SWF) Format Options dialog box. For more information, see Setting optimization options for SVG and SWF files.
