Assistance in converting some .ai files?
« on: April 02, 2004, 01:12:46 pm »
Hi there, awhile back some of you kind folks had stated that you could convert some files for those of us who don't have Illustrator and not a clue as to how to use it?  :)

I would love to have the following converted:

http://localarcade.com/4images/details.php?image_id=127&mode=search

http://localarcade.com/4images/details.php?image_id=128&mode=search

http://localarcade.com/4images/details.php?image_id=129&mode=search

http://localarcade.com/4images/details.php?image_id=255

If anyone has a spare cycle or two and would like to help me out it would be greatly appreciated!  Just send me an IM and I will give you my email.

Thanks again,

Marty

I've created JPEGs. What image app will you (two) be using. I've left them as CMYK since that was how they were created. If you edit them in RGB they'll definitely look a bit flat. The side art is HUGE (95" tall) so I scaled it down to 18" since you mentioned this'll be going on a barcade. The bezel is scaled down from 32" to 16" and the marquee and CP are at the original sizes. All files are 300dpi so they are detailed enough to print. Each file is between 2 to 4MB. Let me know the best way to get them to you.

anyone know of a way to convert .ai or .eps to .svg WITHOUT using Adobe Illustrator??  I use SodiPodi to do my vector work, so this would be helpful.

I used illustrator to convert to svg, and it took several tries before I could read the files in sodipodi or inkscape.  oddly enough nautilus (uses librsvg i think) was able to preview the svg fine but they wouldn't open in sodipodi or inkscape.  after tweaking the settings I finally got them converted and they worked great.

but I do not know how to convert an .ai file without illustrator.

Did you try
>convert file.ai file.svg
convert works on almost everything; if you don't have it, get it from ImageMagick.org
#apt-get install imagemagick

Oh, maybe convert only reads SVG; it can't write it.
But for me this worked (under Linux)
 
pstoedit -f plot-svg blinky.ai blinky.svg
