Using Illustrator 10.0.3. When trying to open an Illustrator file, I get the following error message:

Can't open the illustration. The illustration ended unexpectedly.
Offending operator: "XI"
Context:

The Context portion was blank. Any idea how to get around this problem?

Back a release or two I got that AI message on a file. Turned out the file was corrupted in a previous save by some system abnormality.

The only way I recovered was in going back to an earlier save copy and redoing a little work.

:') Happy trails

Sometimes I've had luck renaming the file (.ps or .pdf) and attempting to place the file in a new illustrator doc. Though it doesn't always work, and when it does it tends to flatten the image.
