Hi

 

Everytime i open up Illustrator this error msg as seen below. I am trying to work with .Aix files that I have exported from Arcgis Pro. I have tried various methods to fix but to no avail.

ArcGISMapsforAdobe_Mac_350.pkg Illustrator plugin "an error occurred during installation.

 

"The installation Failed..." MacBook Pro  2019 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 MacOS 13.4.1 

I've had the same error with the last "340" plugin. I'd really like to give it another try but honestly I have not had much luck with this plugin since the last time I tried it back in 2019. 

 

Anyone with a Mac have any success with installing ArcGIS Maps for Adobe CC plugin?

@Linda.R.Smith I am sorry to hear that you were unable to install the latest plug-in on Mac, which is an environment we support and many of the users running our application on. In order to investigate the cause of the issue you have encountered, could you please share some more details about your env:

- Illustrator version, language, and install folder.

- user permission on the Mac. Do you have admin privileges?

- A screenshot of the installer UI when you received the error message

 

Thanks,

Potentially you may need an updated version. Seems like the export is creating garbage data that is not compatible. Though I believe there are similar issues with other AIX files generated elsewhere, so this may not be fixable and you have to use a different export format.
