Cannot Open AI file! "Expected dict object"

New Here ,
Dec 16, 2022 Dec 16, 2022

Hi I've been working on making fliers in Adobe Illustrator, but the last time I was working it I accidentally reset my computer before or while saving. Since then I can't open it again. I get two errors:

1) Illustrator could partially read the file. We recovered as much as possible....(etc)
2) Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Expected a dict object.

I'm confused by this since I didn't do anything regarding making or importing a pdf..... is there any way to rescue my art and text for this corrupted file??

Hi @Auriga_Putri2533,

 

I understand how stressful it must be to face this issue, especially with an urgent deadline. I’ve recovered your file, and you can download it from the following link:  Greeting posts recovered

 

I hope this helps you get back on track. If you run into any more issues or need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Best,

Anshul Saini

Hi @Anshul_Saini i have a similar problem too, but the difference is it shows "Expected a stream object". I was able to open the file this morning but when i opened it again it shows that dialog.

Here's the drive link of the file thanks in advance

Hi @Yohanes5E1E,

 

I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re facing with your Illustrator file. I understand how stressful it can be when an important file suddenly becomes inaccessible.

 

I was able to recover part of your file, but unfortunately, some elements may still be missing or corrupted. I recommend reviewing the recovered file carefully to identify any gaps or issues.

I’m here to help, and I truly hope this makes things a little easier for you.

 

Best,

Anshul
