Can Robohelp import native Adobe Illustrator file formats?

I am thinking about getting Robohelp, but I would like to know if Robohelp can import the native Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file format directly?  I do not want to have convert my Illustrator files to .jpg, or any other file format that would lose any vector based graphics and/or graphics quality, before bringing the image into Robohelp.  I am unfamiliar with both Illustrator and Robohelp so any information will be appreciated.  Thanks!!

    Unfortunately .AI files can not be imported into a RoboHelp project. You'd have to save them in another format first.

    Hi there

    In addition to what Colum offered, if this capability is important to you, you should consider submitting a Wish Form to alert Adobe that this is a need in the real world. For folks to import Illustrator files into RoboHelp. After all, isn't Illustrator an Adobe product?

    Link to the Wish Form is in my sig.

    Cheers... Rick
