Read .AI Files in my own Visual C++ application

[_maxspot_]

I need to read an .AI fine on my .exe application (not a plugin), there are some library to do this? Some like external DLL library that read .AI file?

Thanks, Bye.

I'm afraid this will not possible! You must develop a plugin or maybe a script to export from AI to your application!

You could try to reverse engineering on AI file, but I think this will not be allowed by Adobe, and then the result will not be as good as doing that with a plugin.
