Exporting Illustrator Files

To use an Adobe Illustrator file in another application, you often need to export it in a format that another application recognizes as a valid. You could rasterize an a piece of vector artwork and export it as a JPEG image into Photoshop, for instance. One thing this would allow for, is the application of bitmap image filters to your artwork.
To export an Illustrator file in another format choose File>export, and then choose the kind of file you want to export your artwork as.
