Hi @Dan27661544bey4,

Thanks for reaching out. This file is opening without any error at my end. I am sharing the Ai file here (change extension from PDF to Ai).

Let us know if the issue persists while opening the file at your end.

Thanks,

Anshul Saini

And you are opening an AI file that has been created on which version exactly? On which device and which version are you opening it? If from desktop to iPad: then yes, there are functions that are not supported on the iPad. The file should open though. Does it?

[Zqueedoo2765570073cy]

All I can figure is when I shut down my computer maybe Ai did an automatic update to a new version. It is completely in the cloud. I am not trying to open it on a different device/only in my cloud. It won't open and it won't let me download it to save it elsewhere.

[Monika Gause]

So which version do you have installed now?

ANd all of this happened on the same device? You created, edited and now open the file on the same device? Which is your desktop computer? Can you please describe step by step what happened to that file and where you edited it? What is in the file (I'm not interested in the contents, but the functionality, so what tools and functions did you use to create it)?

Hi @Zqueedoo2765570073cy,

Sorry for the trouble you are facing with the cloud document. Would you mind sharing the cloud document with us here or via Private message with me? We will try to recover it.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks,

Anshul Saini

[Zqueedoo2765570073cy]

That would be awesome if you could help me recover the file. 

I would prefer to PM the link to the document because it's original artwork. I am not sure how to PM you on this site though. 

[Zqueedoo2765570073cy]

Just figured it out. Sent to you. Appreciate anything you can do to help recover it. Thanks for trying. 

[Anshul_Saini]

Thanks for sharing the document, @Zqueedoo2765570073cy, but we are unable to access it. Please ensure "anyone with the link can view" and "Save a copy" is checked.

Thanks,

Anshul

[Zqueedoo2765570073cy]

Ok working on it

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @Zqueedoo2765570073cy,

Dear Anshul,

I have the same problem and I've sent you a DM with the link to the file that contains this error. Can you please help me? It contains all my graduation drawings that I need for my report due in 2 weeks. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Hi @Anshul_Saini, I am aslo encoutering the same issue. I tried reinstalling an old version but it still displays the same message. Kindly help me out. This is my file link https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:e8c08d8e-6f62-443c-861b-edc0ce684d2a?view=difile

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @Francis25981162ap6j,

I'm sorry to hear that. I understand that you've tried reinstalling an old version, but it still displays the "Document contains incompatible objects" error message.

I've sent the file to our product team for further investigation. I'll get back to you as soon as I have a response from them.

Best,

Anshul Saini

[Francis25981162ap6j]

Alright thank you. I'll be waiting

[Anshul_Saini]

Thank you for your patience, @Francis25981162ap6j. The product team has successfully recovered the file. However, they have requested logs (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html) and need a few more details like:

• The Exact version of OS & Ai you are using.
• Are you using any third-party plugins? If yes, please share their name & version no.
• Can you provide some background on the events that led up to this situation?

Furthermore, I have sent you a direct message to acquire some confidential information.

File Link: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/479aa40b-4250-4c17-7efe-b9a4409b0f71

Looking forward to your response.

Best,

Anshul Saini

[Francis25981162ap6j]

Alright thanks. For the little details needed:

1.  OS version: 22H2 and AI version: (27.5)
2. No plugins
3.  Everything was working fine, then the app freezed. Nothing was working, I tried closing the app throught the taskbar but to no avail. However, I restarted the computer, launched AI and tried opening the file. That was when that pop up appeared.

[Anshul_Saini]

Thank you for the prompt response, @Francis25981162ap6j. Would you mind sharing the log file generated by the log collector tool? You can find it on your Desktop, most likely with the extension "..ZXP".

Thanks,

Anshul

[Francis25981162ap6j]

the file exceed the max file size. Any suggestion on how to get it to you?

[Anshul_Saini]

@Francis25981162ap6j You can upload it on Creative Cloud, Google Drive, or any similar service and share the download link with me via DM.

Thanks,

Anshul Saini

[Francis25981162ap6j]

I was able to open the AI file you sent. It is working great. Thank you very

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @Francis25981162ap6j,

Glad to hear that. Would you mind sending the logs? You can upload it to Creative Cloud, Google Drive, or any similar service and share the download link with me via DM or here. This would really help the team to take the investigation further and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Thanks,

Anshul Saini
