Fresco to Illustrator file issue - PDF opens but is broken

[DooleyBaker]

Hello, hopefully someone will be able to helo me with this. 

Sometimes when I create a file in Fresco and export to pdf or use "Open a copy...illustrator desktop" the file open, but is destroyed. Check out the issue herein case the pics don't load. The first image shows the art work in Fresco, perfectly fine. The second shows what the pdf looks like when opened in Illustrator. The third is a screenshot of the pdf file from the finder. Its like the layers were clipped somehow. I've also tried exporting as a psd and and expanding the vector smart objects. I ran into the same issue.

Is anyone else experiencing this? What is a solution?

Thanks for your help.

I'm using Fresco 4.6.1 on a 2016 Ipad Pro

Desktop - Mac Studio macOS Ventura Version 13.3.1

Illustrator: 27.6.1

When you tried to Open a copy in illustrator did you choose to Convert Layers to Objects or flatten the image. Not sure if this will make a difference regarding your issue, but it could be worth experimenting with.

I'm also noticing a lot more posts from iPad to Mac having more difficulty than iPad to Windows devices.

Hi @DooleyBaker,

I appreciate your detailed explanation of the issue you're facing with exporting files from Fresco to Illustrator. Based on the images you provided and the information you shared, it seems that there might be an issue with how the layers are preserved or interpreted during the import process. 

Would you mind sharing the download link to the file along with the information Sjaani requested regarding the option you chose while importing the file in Illustrator?

Note: Please visit assets.adobe.com, then select the file you want to share, and ensure that "anyone with the link can view" & "Save a copy."

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

Usually what I do when I have something in Frisco I want to open in Adobe illustrator or Adobe Photoshop is I will download the file to my computer and then open it and either program.
