Hi I am having same problem with a file on my Ai cloud saying: 

" this cloud document contains objects that are not compatible with the current illustrator version."

Can I get help please? 

By @Zqueedoo2765570073cy

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_Saini]

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

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,

[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

@Anshul_Saini  can you please try and recover this file? 

[Anshul_Saini]

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 with me via DM or here. 

• When did you first notice this problem?
• Do you see the issue with one document or multiple documents?
• Did you have any connectivity problems while working with the document before encountering the issue?
• How long have you been using the Adobe application on the current system?
• Do you have another system logged with the same Adobe ID?
• Does anybody else have access to your Adobe account?
• Do you have a shared folder / files on the cloud? If yes, please tell us the name of the file / folder along with the Adobe ID of the person with whom it is shared.
• Would you be able to please confirm when was the last time you updated Adobe apps?
• Were there any changes made to your Adobe subscription plan (like upgrade or renewal, plan change, etc.)?

Do you have multiple versions of the same Adobe apps installed on your machine? What all versions do you use?

Do you have any Antivirus, cloud backup, OneDrive, iCloud backup (or similar software) on the system? If yes, please tell us the name of the software.

Looking forward to your response.

Best,

Anshul Saini

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!
