Hi @Maria28951810t81p,

 

We are sorry to hear about this. The product team needs some information to further investigate the issue:

 

  • Collect logs with the help of the Log Collector tool (Ensure the Adobe application is not running before running the Log Collector tool)
    The log file is generated by the log collector tool . You can find it on your Desktop, most likely with the extension "..ZXP". You can upload it to Creative Cloud, Google Drive, or any similar service and share the download link

Hi @Cason5FA7,

Thank you for reaching out. Would you mind resharing the link with public access? I will then forward this to the product team for investigation. Also, would you mind sharing a few details:

  • When did you first get this error, day & time?

  • In which version of Ai did you create or open the file?
  • Are you able to download or open the previous file from the version history (https://adobe.ly/3xpLaME)?

Hi If anyone is still looking at this forum post I am aslo encoutering the same issue. I tried reinstalling an old version but it still displays the same message.

 

This is the link to the file https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:b0602f02-43ff-452c-8d5d-d501fa12397e?view=difile

 

If needed, I can also send over the log file from the log collector tool as, unfortunately it won't allow me to send the file here as it's an unsupported file type

 

I'm currently running on Windows 10 Pro(Ver. 22H2) and I don't have any extentions installed as far as I can remember. It was working fine with the latest version of Illustrator up until recently if memory serves rihgt, so I'm not sure what changed or went wrong.

I'm in a bit of desperate need for help as this file is quite important for a class I'm having in college right now!

Hi Anshul,


Thanks for the reply,  I have shared the file for public access as instructed and am awaiting your response.


As for when I got this error I'm not very sure anymore. At this point its been at least a couple of weeks ago that I first got this error message.

If I remember correctly I created the file around version 28.2 on 10/12/2023, 2:26pm last modified 3/30/2024, 2:33pm.

After trying to dowload it from adobe web and previous versions of illustrator it still wouldn't work.
Any swift help is greatly appreciated,

Cason

Please tell us step by step what you are doing?

Downloading a document? From where?

Opening something?

What's in the file?

Hi @Anshul_Saini and @Monika Gause 

I'm having the same issue of my file not opening due to "document contains incompatible object". How do I solve this issue? I'm working on a file for a school project with an urgent deadline. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

This is my file link https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:51fdca94-5dfb-455b-9373-c5be51730cc7?view=difile

I am so incredibly frustrated dealing with this error and it is absolutely shameful that this issue appears to be occuring time and again for other users. The fact that someone can spend all day working on a project to then have their work go to waste because the application won't open the file is really disheartening. Clearly, Adobe is not interested in fixing the problem, as they seem to be focused on addressing these issues on a case-by-case basis. I hope someone at Adobe will stop wasting time offering nonsense replys to these threass and instead take the time to provide a comprehensive answer that will be useful for users to solve this problem on their own.
