Thanks for reaching out, Mel.


I've seen this before. Try opening the Ai file in Illustrator > Select the Artboard tool > With one of your Artboards selected, go to the Properties panel and change the Fill color to Transparent. Do it for all the artboards.

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,

Nishu
