Hi Michael,

Thanks for explanation.

I think i found an issue about the Moi's PDF file export.
The layers (like styles) are present when opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader, but not present (the same file, in my tests) in Adobe Illustrator (CS6 to CC2021), which i use to edit the file, if need.

I will use only the DXF file. For me its a slower workflow, have to import to Illustrator, correct the artboard size (is always to small), edit the colors styles/layers (all wrong, some times ilegible) and export it as a PDF file, instead of sending the PDF file right way to clients and/or suppliers.

Anyway, thank you for this wonderful software.

Best regards
Carlos

That's an issue with Adobe Illustrator's PDF file import - it does not support reading layers out of PDF files. It may appear to do so since it will read them from PDFs that it generates itself if "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" is turned on in its PDF export options. But that works by embedding some proprietary extra data in the PDF file. Adobe has not documented the structure of this data and so other programs are not able to generate it.

But you can use .ai format for transfer from MoI into Adobe Illustrator which will support reading layers and has all the same content in it as PDF.

Hi Michael,

Yes, i'm using the .ai file and it's working fine (got layers and editable text, so its easy to edit).
Before, i've made a quick test with .ai export and got the same result as the PDF file (no layers), but obviously i was doing something wrong.

Thank you.
Carlos
