AI (Adobe Illustrator) format

AI, Adobe Illustrator Artwork, represents single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats.

The structure of an AI file depends on its version.

Aspose.PSD supports following AI versions at the moment (Full support of AI is in the product roadmap):

• AI version 3
• AI version 8

You can export an AI file of the supported version to any supported by Aspose.PSD format. For example, you can export AI file programmatically to Psd, Png, Jpeg, Gif, Bmp, Tiff file formats

Below provided sample code demonstrates how to export the AI file to PSD with File Format Manipulation API

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-psd/Aspose.PSD-for-.NET

{
    @"34992OStroke",
    @"rect2_color",
};

for (int i = 0; i < sourcesFiles.Length; i++)
{
    string name = sourcesFiles[i];
    string sourceFileName = dataDir + name + ".ai";
    string outFileName = dataDir + name + ".psd";

    using (AiImage image = (AiImage)Image.Load(sourceFileName))
    {

        ImageOptionsBase options = new PsdOptions();
        image.Save(outFileName, options);

    }
}

Examples of current export abilities for AI Files

---

Example	Description
	Export of AI file includes the ability to render Postscript primitives with different fill and stroke with any custom weight.
	Rendering of complex paths from AI file using C# API without Adobe Illustrator

Additional AI manipulating features through file format API

---

Aspose.PSD provides the ability to manipulate the Layers and Raster Images from AI files. All these features works only with the supported Adobe Illustrator File versions.

Sample code demonstrates how you can manipulate the Raster Images from AI File Section
