How to convert a PDF to an AI file.
Need to make your PDF illustration editable? Learn how to convert your PDF into an Adobe Illustrator (AI) file in minutes.
Businesses, designers, and artists often share completed illustrations as PDFs because you can open them on practically any device — however, those PDFs aren’t always so easy to edit. Read on to learn how to convert PDF to AI to create an editable, shareable file.
Why should you convert a PDF to an AI file?
PDF is a popular and practical standard format for file sharing. You can edit and modify PDFs with Acrobat, and the PDF format works great if you need to edit text, add comments, annotate, or collect a signature. But when you require extensive edits, especially for graphic designs, consider using Adobe’s AI converter and converting it to an AI format first.
The AI format allows you to access all of the editing and design capabilities of Adobe Illustrator. With its vector-based graphics, the AI file format offers editing functionalities that can manipulate or change any image on the illustration. Because the graphics are vector-based, your designs can be scaled up or down to any size without losing quality. Scaling up can be especially important for projects like logos or other large-scale marketing. AI is the perfect format choice for industrial or marketing design edits and more. Let’s learn how to convert PDF to AI.
