This is one of those cool integrations that ESRI has been working on for some time now. Maps exported from ArcPro could be exported in .aix format.
- AIX stands for Adobe Illustrator Exchange. More here – Use .aix files from ArcGIS Pro—ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud | Documentation.
- Here is a forum discussion dedicated to .aix file not being recognized – Solved: Getting Text Import Option Error in AIX files expo… – Adobe Support Community – 11334821
Basic installation steps:
- Download ArcGIS Maps for Adobe here – ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud | Design with Data Driven Maps (esri.com)
- Run the installation.
If getting this message “There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run….”
The installation file was .msi. Lately those have been having some issues running at first. Try running as administrator.
Once the installation is successful, new extension would show up under Windows – Extensions.
