While many might argue that Adobe should indeed enable graceful opening PDF files in Adobe Illustrator - but this would be largely a benevolent project ( such helping the homeless ) as it most likely would not results in some major spike in unit sales. Illustrator can often be safely used to modify specific, simple graphic objects as the vector graphics touch-up tool editor, but not much more. General PDF can lose text when opened in Illustrator. And for text, Illustrator only "understands" particular encodings. At best, they are treated as foreign objects that cannot be edited. Also there are many PDF constructs that Illustrator knows nothing about. Thus, a color-managed PDF file with more than one color space with opened in Illustrator would be ruined. Why? Adobe Illustrator operates in +either+ CMYK +or+ RGB and +only one+ specific color space per document. The only full PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself using the save for editability option. On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated, I will advise you that Adobe Illustrator is *not*, +repeat+ *not*, +repeat yet again+ *not* a general purpose PDF file editor.
