What is Adobe Illustrator document?
Illustrator artwork; compatible PDF or PostScript content can be imported by the hosted vector engine.
Server processing uses engines we host. Availability depends on the deployed engine and supported file variant.
Technical details
Illustrator AI can preserve vector artwork and editing structures; Adobe documents AI as a native Illustrator format with PDF-compatible saving. [1]
Background and compatibility
Adobe's format matrix distinguishes native AI editing from export formats; another application may render a PDF view without full Illustrator editability. [1]
