Convert Adobe Portable document format to Adobe Illustrator graphics.

We have found 7 software records in our database eligible for .pdf to .ai file format conversion.

The only reliable PDF to AI conversion is possible only for full PDF files saved in the original Adobe Illustrator using the 'save for editability' option.

Any other PDFs will not be imported properly and thus cannot be edited, as Illustrator is not a general-purpose PDF editing tool. It may also be possible to do it in other software that supports Illustrator formats (like CorelDraw), however nothing beats the original.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned pdf to ai. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
