Merge artboards from several .ai files into one .ai file?

Guest
Jun 21, 2010 Jun 21, 2010

I have received a lot of .ai files from a client, and I was wondering if it possible to merge these files as artboards in a single illustrator file, the files I have are not pdf-compatible, so I cannot use the merge function from acrobat.

I am using CS5, but perhaps it is also possible with CS4?

Spooky, @galynap43472327 I was just doing a write-up for the Merge file to Ai extension when I saw your post notification. This method provides a panel, offering many of the same options as the script method I posted above, but it seems to be a little more stable than the script. The quick guide is here and the extension can be installed here.

I used the Merge Ai script earlier this week, it's really good, love it. It's on github to download now, here
