Adobe illustrator 10 Manuale Utente

1 Save the artwork as described in 

Choose Illustrator (AI) as the file format.

2 In the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, select the Adobe Illustrator version 
with which you want your file to be compatible. Keep in mind that certain features, such as 
gradients, layers, and transparency, may not be supported by earlier versions of the 
Illustrator file format. 

3 Set additional options, and click OK:

Create PDF Compatible File Saves a PDF representation of the document in the 
Illustrator file. Select this option if you want the Illustrator file to be compatible with other 
Adobe applications. (This option is available only for Illustrator 10.0 format.)

Use Compression Compresses PDF data in the Illustrator file. Using compression 
increases the time required to save the document, so deselect this option if you’re experi-
encing very slow (8 to 15 minute) save times. (This option is available only for Illustrator 
10.0 format when the Create PDF Compatible File option is selected.)

Embed All Fonts Embeds all fonts that are used in the artwork. This ensures that the 
original font is used for display and printing on computers that do not have the font 
installed. (Selecting the Embed Fonts option increases the size of the saved file.)

Subset Fonts Specifies when to embed fonts based on how many of the font’s characters 
are used in the document. For instance, if a font contains a thousand characters but the 
document only uses 10 of those characters, you may decide that embedding the font is 
not worth the extra file size.

Embed ICC Profile Creates a color-managed document. (See 

Include Linked Files Embeds files that are linked to the artwork.

Use Japanese File Format Saves the artwork as a Japanese language file that is 
compatible with Illustrator versions 3, 4, or 5. (This option is not available for later 
Illustrator versions.)

Transparency Determines what happens to transparent objects when you choose a 
version of Illustrator format earlier than 9.0. Select Preserve Paths to discard transparency 
effects and reset transparent artwork to 100 percent opacity. Select Preserve Appearance 
option to maintain the appearance of transparency by flattening transparent areas of the 
artwork. If your artwork contains complex, overlapping areas and you require high-
resolution output, click Cancel and specify rasterization settings before continuing.

Virtually all page layout, word-processing, and graphic applications accept imported or 
placed EPS files. The EPS format preserves many of the graphic elements you can create 
with Adobe Illustrator, which means that EPS files can be reopened and edited as 
Illustrator files.
