Cannot open .ai file - seems empty

Hello,

I have licenced and tried to open Set of 500 ecology icons – stock vector – kaufen Sie diese Vektorgrafik und finden Sie ähnliche Vekt... , but all I get is a document with Russian text.

Any ideas why?

What program do you use to open the files?

I have tried GIMP, AdobeReader, and an online concerter (to .JPG). I always get the same image looking like this:

This is the (machine) translation of the Russian text:

This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was

is saved without PDF content.

To place a file in other

it must be saved again in

a compatible file." This one

This option is located in the Original Illustrator Format Options dialog box

which is derived from

save the Adobe Illustrator file using the

Save it like this.

This file format (*.AI) normally only can be opened with Adobe Illustrator.

Older *.AI (Illustrator 8 version) perhaps can be opened with Corel Draw.

Hi HJD,

I've verified that there is no issue with this licensed file when opened in Adobe Illustrator.

Thank you! I will get Adobe Illustrator.

That’s a wise decision. If you have a problem with Illustrator, you may post in the Illustrator​ forum.

You need Illustrator or at least a program that can read Illustrator vector graphics. You can install the 7 day test version of Illustrator if you want to look at the file and may be export the file to a format you can use afterwards.
