    After the file opens and processing is complete, artwork appears from the exported map. The artwork is organized into an easy-to-understand layer structure that's ready to edit using Illustrator tools.

  6. Save your edits as a new .AI file and use it in your graphics workflows.

Did you create the AIX on your machine?

Or did someone send it to you via mail? If that is the case ask them to first ZIP it and then send again.

Can you then make sure that everything is compatible?

Have you asked the ArcGIS people about it? They should know if it is supposed to work in Version 2020.
