    I couldn’t get the adobe creative cloud app to allow me to view my AI files that I received through email. I couldn’t even get it to save the files from email. However, I have the Dropbox app on my phone and when you upload to it, you can preview AI files!

    I have an amazingly easy solution / tweak

    1. Tap that ai file to open

    2. It will open up the Share Sheet

    3. Tap Print

    4. Pinch to zoom that file to preview

    So Simple!!

    Or if you want to use app Documents by Readdle allows you to preview Ai files !!

    duncanc5868268  Hello, were you ever able to get a definitive answer on this? I am trying to do the same thing, and if you have figured it out I’d like to just do whatever you did rather than go through the steps that weren’t helpful to you. Thanks!

    Save the file as a Photoshop PDF, then open the PDF on your iPhone in a PDF viewer. (That assumes you created the vector image in Photoshop using the vector tools).  Else save it as a PDF from whichever application you've used, you can also save it as a SVG if that's an available export/saving format.

    Hi, OK I have put CC on the phone but how do I get he attachment (in an email) to it to see it?

    Saving it to photos doesn't seem to work...

    Thanks

    If there is a PDF embedded in the AI file, then you can use a PDF viewer to open it (preferably Acrobat, because anything else cannot be trusted)

     

    If there is no PDF embedded, then you can't. 


    No, you can do it even if there's no PDF.

    As said earlier, download the creative cloud app and then, find your AI files in the files app and click the share button ! In the list of actions, you should find creative cloud
