What format works with Illustrator CS 4?

Postby InkCat » Wed Feb 23, 2011 11:01 am

I have an Inkscape illustration I'd like to move over to Adobe Illustrator, CS 4 for Mac OS X.

I've tried EPS and SVG, but I run into problems, like missing art (nothing fancier than clipping paths and placed images) and cryptic messages like "Clipping will be lost on roundtrip to Tiny."

whatever that means..I have nothing in my document called Tiny.

Any clues as to how to successfully save out of Inkscape (0.48+devel) to Illustrator CS 4?

thank you!

PDF uses to work, just be sure to rasteriza effects and convert typography to nodes.

"Tiny" is a reference to Tiny SVG — a subset of all possible SVG features. This subset was/is a recommendation for mobile devices such a phones. IIRC, clipping is not supported in Tiny SVG indeed.
