AI Illustrator Files with text opening up BLANK | "Text Import Options"
Recently I have been facing this issue were certain AI ( illustrator ) files with text seem to yeet itself into a blank file.
The main example for me is: I have this file that is 2.25 by 1.25 sized label I use for letter mail. It has a mock address filled in, live text. I have the base template file saved and duplicate and populate with real addresses to print off as needed. I always go back and remove those extra boards and save the file with the one template and mock address to reuse later. Or close without saving so it remains the same.
As of late, when I go to open the file, I am presented with a popup box saying "Text Import Options" and matter the combination of boxes I tick or untick off, the file opens in a different size ( usually letter size ) and copmpletely blank.
There is no way to revert to my original file, so I end up trashing and remaking it, only for it to meet the same fate sooner or later. Most recently, upon the very next reopining of the file.
It's been driving me crazy and I'd love to find a fix.
