Because I like open source software (always free) and because I happened to know about a great alternative to Illustrator, I decided to go with option 4. I was able to import the Illustrator CS4 file containing the business card template with no problems. I did have to specify the size, so I used a standard Japanese business card size. The file opened up in Inkscape and I was able to edit text and vector graphics. However I noticed that there was no export to Adobe Illustrator.ai format built in. I was surprised because I thought I had used Inkscape to export.ai files in the past. After a quick web search I learned that the.ai export feature was removed in Inkscape version.47. This is because Adobe Illustrator now (since version 10) supports importing.svg files, which are Inkscapes native file format. This is good news but in my experience some Mac-based graphics designers arent too great with handling different file formats. So I was pleased to find that a separate open-source project exists whos whole mission is to provide a convertor between the various vector-based graphic formats in existence. Not only that, but this project includes a patch script to run on Inkscape 47.x or 48.x which adds the specific functionality I was looking for. The project is called sk1project and the software is called uniconvertor. This year, Im using inkscape, and Im mostly happy, though there are some little quirks. This might change the text box configuration a bit, but it will make it possible to edit the text. Some of the problems with text editing might arise from text that has been converted to outline in Illustrator. ![]() However, after being converted to an outline object, its not really text any more. But when I click on save as in Inkscape there is still no option to save as ai. Am I looking in the wrong place If it just doesnt work on my setup, thats fine, I can do without it, but if its a matter of me clicking the wrong options, then would be interested to know about it. Thanks. Inkscape Business Card Template How To Handle WhatThis is the usual case when you import from another file types and the program does not know how to handle what you have imported with its native capabilities. Another possibility is that the font used to create the text is not on your computer. Whatever the case might be, I recommend trying to recreate the texteffect natively in Inkscape AND once you are done, having someone with Illustrator make sure that everything you did works OK on hisher side. Some text I can edit just fine but other text doesnt work so well. Best way to describe it is all the letters are on top of one another.
