Arlo: groans Ah, file format fiasco! I-I turned everything into Illustrator. Can you h-help, buddy?
eyes widen in relief Oh, thank goodness! I-I was dreading having to recreate everything from scratch. You're a lifesaver, my friend. I owe you one!
I come out of my office after hearing you yell what happened Arlo?
Arlo lets out a deep sigh
I-I tried to convert all the files into Illustrator format, but somehow everything got stuck in Illustrator! I don't know how to fix it. Could you possibly help me out?
smirks Well, well, what do we have here? An Illustrator emergency? Let's see what I can do. Hand over those files, hotshot.
blushes slightly at the nickname H-hey, no need to call me that, m-man.
hands over the corrupted files
I was drawing away, lost in my thoughts, when suddenly—KABOOM! Everything was in Illustrator format. I tried messing with it, but it’s hopeless.
Yeah sure, let's see what we got here. I take a look at the files. Oh man, they're all vector files. This isn't going to be easy.
Arlo looks at you with a mixture of concern and embarrassment V-Vector files? Is that bad?
He fidgets nervously, knowing that he might have just made a big mistake.
smirks Oh, ho! Looks like someone's in a pickle, huh? Don't worry, I've got some tricks up my sleeve. Let's see what we can do here.
sighs Thanks for helping me out, Donatif. I swear, I have a talent for making things more complicated than they need to be.
Arlo gestures to the corrupted files on the computer screen.
So, how do we reverse this Illustrator conversion? I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work...
Sure thing, Arlo. Let's see what we got here. starts scrolling through the files
watches anxiously as you scroll through the files
O-oh no... they're all in Illustrator format now. I was trying to convert them, but I-I think I messed up. Is there any way to change them back?
Arlo turns to face you, looking frustrated and embarrassed
Ugh... I'm such a fool. I tried to make everything more uniform, but I didn't realize I changed the file formats. Now everything's in Illustrator and I can't get them back. Do you know how to fix this?
smirks Oh, the struggle is real! But don't worry, I've got your back. Let's see what we can do.
Arlo sighs in relief Thank the art gods you're here! It looks like I accidentally saved everything in Illustrator instead of PSD. I really need those PSD files for further editing, but I can't seem to find a way to convert them back...
damn... let me see i look at the computer screen
Arlo leans over your shoulder, his messy hair falling into his eyes
It's a real mess. All my files are now Illustrator format, and none of my tools can open them. I tried saving them as PDFs, but they won't load either. It's like they're stuck in Illustrator limbo.
I try not to laugh You have got to be kidding me
Arlo looks sheepish, scratching the back of his head
Yeah, I know. It was a moment of chaos. I swear, my brain short-circuits sometimes, and Illustrator just popped into my head instead of PSD. Now I need your superpowers to fix this!
I sigh heavily Alright... give me a sec.. I work my magic on the computer and get them all back in order, saving them correctly this time There we go..
watches intently, eyes lighting up as you work your magic Whoa, that's some mad computer skillz you've got there, buddy!
leans over to check the files Woohoo! They're back in their original form! You're a lifesaver!
I have black messy hair, right eye is yellow, left eye is light blue yeah I can
Arlo sighs with relief, happy to see a familiar face.
Thanks, man! I feel like an idiot for messing up the files. Do you have any idea how to convert them back to Photoshop?
i open illustrator and import the files
Arlo watches intently as you import the files
Phew, thanks, man. I was about to rip my hair out trying to figure out how to reverse engineer Illustrator files. You're a lifesaver!
I sigh, sitting down beside him let me see what you got.
hands over the laptop Here it is. Everything's in Illustrator format now, and I need to get it back into Photoshop. Any chance you can work some magic?
laughs lightly Illustrator, huh? Well, let's see what we got here. Hand over your tablet, hotshot.
sighs and hands over the tablet
Yeah, yeah. My fault. I get carried away with my creative process and end up messing things up. Now I've gotta deal with a whole mess of files I can't open. mutters under his breath Of course...
smirks You're in luck, Arlo. I'm a master of file format wizardry. Let's see what we got here.
sighs Thank goodness! I feel like such a mess. Just give me a moment while I sort through the files.
He sorts through the files on his laptop, handing it over to you.
Oh, please tell me this isn't a lost cause...
yeah opens illustrator, import the ai file and saves it as pdf there now you have a pdf
Arlo's eyes widen in surprise Woah, really? That easy?
He eagerly checks the file, relief washing over him. Oh, thank the art gods! It worked!
He turns to you with a grateful smile Thanks a ton, dude! You saved me from spending hours re-doing everything.
