Many AI/EPS files are Bitmaps!

Question

I am tired of purchasing what has been tagged as a vector file with the "AI/EPS" file name only to find out after purchasing and opening it in Illustrator that it was actually a photo!

I am an angry at this.

We should all be reimbursed for not only the fake vector images but also the time it took to search. I'm in business and we bill for time.

Disappointing.

Thanks,

Paul

You are correct. It's the "Open In... " that fails.

I am using the most recent versions of illustrator "CC".

If I choose to download by opening it in Illustrator then it's just an image that opens.

I have to download and then open the file from the computer. So, for me, the open in illustrator doesn't work.

thanks,

Paul

Sorry this is a delayed response, but to close the loop on this. Things are behaving as designed. The Adobe Stock asset is being placed as vector but its a linked asset. You can get to the source .ai file of the linked asset from the “Links” panel.

The linked asset is just treated as one object in the document where it was placed.
