how can i best save my artwork done in illustrator 9 on a Mac platform to be opened by a PC user?

it may be a simple question but i'm still new at this..

please advice!
 
If the work is to be shared between Mac & Pc then save it as Illustrator eps. macs & pcs can seee that.
If you save it as just Illustrator then put the Ext. ai on the end of it. ex: job.ai
And nothing is a simple question.

The longest jounney starts with the first step.
 
IF you have fonts loaded - - you may want to change your type to outlines. Or you can try and find a PC font that looks similiar to your mac fonts.

If the PC user doesn't have Illustrator, then try exporting as a WMF file. This is a Windows standard vector file format. Don't forget the .wmf file extension.

*Colours sometimes go a bit wonky with WMF's though, so beware.
