How to open AIT file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Illustrator Template is that AIT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that AIT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AIT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe Illustrator

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Illustrator is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Illustrator into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AIT files.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Illustrator with AIT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AIT file to open in the Adobe Illustrator application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Illustrator application as the default for handling the AIT file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Illustrator to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Illustrator program with the Adobe Illustrator Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AIT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The AIT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AIT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AIT file. However, remember that not every infected AIT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AIT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AIT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AIT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AIT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AIT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
