    This would be incredibly useful for infographics and diagrams.

    Currently only option is to export ai files as a flattened raster image (and manually write Actual Text for it) before creating the final PDF in InDesign, otherwise screen readers try and read the diagram text in it (and terribly).

    This isn't a workable solution though, because asking the engineers to write a paragraph of Actual Text in addition to every diagram they create isn't a feasible request to make. (Arguably it would be best-practice, but it's just not something they have time to do, and I'm not really in a position to make demands)

    Same message as above for all attempts: "Unknown Error while saving".

    — I tried opening two different vector logo files from CC Library (originally added via Illustrator CC 2019), and was unable to save edits to either of them. There are no hidden or locked layers.

    — Save As new file on the desktop also got same error.

    — Also tried to upload them to the CC Library as a new item, but no luck (same error).
