Question

Illustrator could partially read the file

I was working on this file today and then I closed the app. When I tried to open the file later it showed the message "illustrator could partially read the file" and nothing but a blank page appears. 

Is there a way to recover the file? I can still see the preview/thumbnail (attached) of the recent files with my artwork but I really cannot open it. 

Thanks

Hi!

Sorry, it's an illustrator file. I can upload it but it's 320 mb.

So there's still a fair bit of data in there!

I'm assuming you don't have a back-up.

Have you used transparency a lot?

If not, you could try running it through distiller and seeing what's rescued...
