Unable to open file

[Raulrdz]

I recently downloaded a clipart file from IStock. When I try to open it AI says it was generated with a newer version. I continue to import and get this message "This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without content" Can anyone offer some help? I have AI version 9

i think it's time to update
i think you have to get the file saved as an earlier version or a pdf so you can open it if you can send the file i can open it and save it and send it back
unless where ever you downloaded it from can do it for you

If you send the file to me, I will open it and resave it to a earlier version. If I can help let me know.

Time to update, had CS2, and over the weekend had a rush job (gota love working all weekend) had to upgrade to CS3 cause the source of the files was CS3, and it was update or lose a big account.
As much as it hurts to constantly be upgrading software, you don't really have much choice if you take files from clients in my humble opinion.
