Hello,
found that exiftool cannot embed into AI when output file specified.
Embed into AI works only if output option point to the folder or not specified at all.

OS: macosx 10.11
Exiftool: 10.79
Commandline: exiftool -n -m -E -description=TestDesctiption -o test2.ai test1.ai
Output:
Error: Can't create AI file from PDF - test1.ai
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors

Same command line works fine in exiftool 10.15 but staring from 10.16 till now doesn't.

Thanks,

Olexandr

Hi Olexandr,

Thanks for this report.  This will be fixed for ExifTool 10.81
