Feb 03, 2020 Feb 03, 2020

Hi

I can't open the files i was working on today. It's super weird, I can't find why !

Error message says: Impossible to read the file. The external module can't interpret this file.

Please help me I'm desperate !

More infos : It's a very heavy file (230mo) but i didnt have any problems before. I quit and reopen several times, didn't help. I can open other files. I didn't upgrade illustrator today.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I would request if you can share a few more details like:

 

  1. The exact version of Illustrator in which the file was created and the Operating System.
  2. Where is the file saved, locally or on any network or shared drive?
  3. Is it possible for you to share the file with us if it is not confidential? If yes, I am sending you a DM please check.

 

Regards

Rishabh
