Pole Position Sitdown Side Art - Found it, can't view it...
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:50:06 pm »
Please can someone help, I built a paper model of the starwars sitdown arcade machine (See here http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=115252.0 ) and now I really fancy doing the same for Pole Position.

I've found the ideal piece of side art here:
http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/details.php?image_id=964

Its an ai (adobe illustrator) file, but unlike most ai files that can be viewed with acrobat reader, I can not view this one because it was saved without the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on.

Doesn't anyone have a version of this file that I might be able to view, or know a place where I can get it from?

I've emailed person who uploaded the ai to arcadeartlibrary originally, but had no response, I think it might be an old/invalid email address.

Thanks if you can help  :)

Thanks, I just installed it, looks like a really good program! But still no joy viewing that file. Everything I tried to load/import the "pole_position_sideart.ai" file gave me the same error:

"
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was
saved without PDF content.
To place or open this file in other
applications, it should be re-saved from
Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF
Compatible File" option turned on. This
option is in the Illustrator Native Format
Options dialog box, which appears when
saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the
Save As command.
"
