Exporting artwork
To use an Adobe Illustrator document in
another application, you must save the
document in a graphics file format that
the other application can use.
You can save Illustrator documents in a
number of graphic formats, including
EPS, PDF, and GIF. However, using a
format other than EPS often results in
a loss of quality. See About graphic file
formats for more information.
Important: When saving an Illustrator
file in a format other than Illustrator 6
or EPS, change the filename suffix to
indicate the new format and thus ensure
that the original file is not overwritten.
