Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Whats wrong with sending a jpg or a png file still looks the same and can be open in just about any program. We send out jpg/png all the time and what I do is send it at print size or 8x11 never had any problems. Why do you need to send an Illy file anyway what's the benefit of that if I may ask.darryl
I would never want to send sales people .ai or .pdfs of the art...they'll start sending that to the customers, who now have the 'vector/print ready' files to work from.better to just 'save for web' from illustrator and save it in the same directory as the rest of the files.we're working on a new process where we take the jpg of the art, add it into a spreadsheet, and then export that as the quote/proof process.
Adobe Acrobat will read illustrator files. Not sure how much it costs alone though. Doesn't regular Adobe Reader work for Illustrator files too? I have acrobat so can't test it.
agreed, but in this case Mark is talking about incoming files from the customers.

When I send files to a printer, I try to keep in mind that I need to send a jpg (for review in email) as well as the original art file.
