Ziplinski, when asking for a sample file I meant a "real" file, not something based on the suggestions about compound shapes. If you indeed only have compound paths in your files and if you're going to convert them to compound shapes, it should suffice to use the Make Compound Shape command in the Pathfinder palette menu. ...

As pointed out by Scott, you will never get an official reason. However, I don't think 32 bit vs. 64 bit does explain it. InDesign, for example, had got recovery mechanisms about 12 years ago. At that time it was certainly not a 64 bit programme … ... View more

all effects like gradients, … and the like will be rasterized -- they will no longer be editable. I do not completely agree with that statement. Draw's .ai import filter has been pretty smart for a long time. For example, Illustrator gradient fills are usually converted to editable gradient fills in Draw. Even Illustrator gradient mesh objects can be imported as Draw's equivalent mesh objects, still editable. ... View more

I don't think that's the main point here, Scott. Luchababe is just looking for a way to export images only (no code). The Export as CSS layers (probably not the most appropriate term) did just that.
