I have a .ai document, CS3, which contains several layers and sub layers. I'm trying to export as a psd whilst maintaining the layers. After choosing the maintain layers option I get the message "some containers in the AI document have been flattened" and when I open the psd in photoshop it's completely flat on one layer. Why is illustrator doing this? I thought it was because of clipping paths so removed all of them but it still happens?Pdf can only contain one layer. All the content of all the layers are gathered onto on layer only. You still can edit the content but you will have to work your way through all the added "clipping paths" that Acrobat generates to hold everything together.
