    Thanks, the simple test idea is good, but here is the evidence that Indesign does place Ai as PDF: When I place the Ai logo, a window opens, labeled Place, which shows the Ai logo thumbnail and the show import options and replace selected item boxes, both of which I check. (The import option...

    Ai document will only place as PDF, correct preferences ignored

    Thanks for the info JMGalvin. Carlow above states that Ai files are always placed as PDF. This seems to be the case here. Yes, in theory if you place an Ai document, it will remain in that format. It does not, not with my Indesign. It keeps placing as PDF. Even the LINK says it is a PDF file...

    Ai document will only place as PDF, correct preferences ignored
