.AI or .PDF Import

When I import an illustrator or pdf file of Na+ or of the words sodium ion, it only shows a vectorized version of the plus.

You need to convert your text to a path before importing it into LightBurn.

Can you attach one of the offending PDF or AI files to have a look at?

BTW: You’ll probably need to append a “.TXT” to the file name otherwise the forum will reject it.

Sodium Ion2.ai.txt (229.4 KB)
Sodium Ion2.pdf.txt (224.9 KB)

I provided an Illustrator file and a pdf of the same file. Both give the same result. Just a plus sign.

Thanks to the path tip, I solved it. In Illustrator the text has to be converted to outlines. Then they can be filled. Thank you very much.
