Text Editing an Adobe Illustrator file. Anyone help?
Hey guys,
I was working on some Gauntlet art in Illustrator and the file corrupted on me. I was tracing a very large high res scan and maybe because I was saving every 15 minutes it just got too much in the end and the file corrupted. I am unsure. I have tried everything I can by trying to open it in various different programs, exporting, importing etc but had no luck. I can see the file if I choose to 'place' the file in Illustrator but as soon as I click ok, I just get a white box.
The one thing I haven't tried is text editing the file in notepad or specific text/hex editing prog. Reason: I don't know anything about it
So, I am looking for someone who is competent in text editing to take a look at the file for me. Perhaps some of the data can be located and retrieved which would save me a lot of time by not having to redraw it. I can see my layers in the text file when opened in notepad, I couldn't see the scan but being a 450meg file, there are a LOT of pages to scroll through
Any help appreciated. The file has been split and uploaded ready for download.
*mods, feel free to move this, but it is kinda arcade related and I am desperate*
