Importing and typesetting Adobe Illustrator graphics

Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

Problem

AI and EPS graphics created using Adobe Illustrator don't import properly, nor do they typeset correctly. They may also appear with a green background in the TrueTeX Previewer.

Explanation

SWP and SW graphics import filters aren't compatible with all Adobe Illustrator formats, so AI graphics that have been created with Adobe Illustrator don't always import properly.

Solution

Open the graphics in Adobe Illustrator and save them using the format for version 6.0 or earlier. Then, reimport the graphics into your document.
