The most recent entry in the archives for problems with Export are two years
old. It is difficult to believe that I am the first person to try to export a
figure in Adobe Illustrator format. What am I doing wrong?
I am running Mathematica 4.0.1.0 under OS 9.2 on a Mac but the problem is the
same on a PC.
The program
tmp = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}];
Export["AIFormat.ai", tmp, "AI"]
runs without error and creates the file named. Adobe Illustrator 10 cannot
open the file.
What is worse is that the program
tmp = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}];
Export["EpsFormat.eps", tmp, "EPS"]
creates a file that crashes my system when trying to open it within
Illustrator.
