Question: Question about Adobe Illustrator. Can Adobe Illustrator convert ai files to gif files? I have maps that are in ai format. I am trying to convert the maps to gif format si I can post them on the web. Can this be done?

Answer: Pre-CS versions no you cannot...you have to either export it as a jpg or  rasterize through photoshop and resave as a Gif\n\nIn CS versions you can "save for web" (shift+opt+Cmd (ctrl on PC) + S) \nA new menu window will open up on the right hand side there will be a drop down menu where you can select the type of file you want to save it as.
