Why AI?
AI is an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) vector based format. Vector files
are much smaller than bitmap files for image types except photos (TIF
is the best photo choice). They also remain editable in a vector based
program like CorelDraw. Whenever possible, EPS format is the best. Not
all applications accept EPS files though, and you should be printing
to a PostScript printer when using EPS. Most desktop computers are not
PostScript capable. However, for moving between image editing programs,
EPS is ideal.

Choose Compatibility
Indicate whether the file will be used on a Mac or PC platform. Choose
the version of Adobe Illustrator you wish to set compatibility for.
You may want to save a few different versions here if you do not know
the details on where it will be used.

Export Text Setting
Text can be exported as curves (changes to a graphic) or as text (remains
as editable text). Curves can be good when exporting a short document
to another computer. You will not need to worry whether the fonts you
used are installed. However, for longer documents, or to leave text
editable, you should export as text. The receiving computer must have
the same fonts you used to create your document. Click OK.
