hi,
i am exporting some maps (layouts) that i have just finished, so that they can be further worked in illustrator before sending them to the offset printer for publication.
these maps are large (120 x 80cm), with many layers and a complicated layout including inset maps, cross-sections, legend etc.
as a result the file size is large, 168,634Kb.
when i try to open them in illustrator, the software becomes unresponsive - greyed out... and does not recover.
the computer is new and very high spec, so that should not be the issue.
i am willing to share the .aix but obviously it is too large to share here...
thanks
Hi @NigelBaker ,
Can you please share some information about the version of ArcGIS Pro, Illustrator and ArcGIS Maps for Adobe you have. Also are you choosing any specific settings when you export - what is the resolutions, compress vectors option. Any images in the map? Might need more info about the map / ArcGIS Pro project in addition to the aix file.
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for replying.
all the softwares are updated to the latest versions.
ArcPro 2.8.0
iilustrator 25.2.3
ArcGIS Maps 2.2.1
the map i almost all vectors bapart from 2 small inset maps (showing overviews/simplified geology) have transparent raster DEM's.
the rest is all vector, all in the same projection, all stored in local .gdb's. same colour space.
i can get them to open but the wait for illustrator is in the order of 30minutes or more!
regards
nigel
