=== Your changes to [[Inkscape for Adobe Illustrator users]]===
Please correct (or remove) your recent changes to [[Inkscape for Adobe Illustrator users#To Save Illustrator Files in Inkscape for Windows]] claiming that Inkscape can save AI files with the help of ps2pdf. This is '''not''' true:
#Inkscape does not save AI files.
#Inkscape does not require ps2pdf to save PDF/EPS/PS files.
The pages you link to only describe the installation of Ghostscript used to ''import'' EPS files in GIMP, but do not mention how a user could write a custom output extension for Inkscape to support saving as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_file proprietary AI files].

;opening PS/EPS files
:Ps2pdf from Ghostscript is required to '''import PostScript-based file formats''' (EPS/PS).

;opening PDF/AI files
:PDF files and PDF-based Adobe Illustrator files (version 9.0 and later, default) are imported using internal routines and do not require any external tools.

;opening AI files (version 8.0 and earlier)
:From within Inkscape, older PostScript-based AI files (version 8.0 and below) can be opened by manually choosing the corresponding file type 'Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below (*.ai)'. The import is based on [http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor UniConvertor] 1.1.5 (which is bundled with Inkscape on Windows).

;saving PDF/PS/EPS files
:PDF and Postscript-based file formats (EPS/PS) are saved using internal routines as well and do '''not''' require any external helper tools either.

The Inkscape manual sections about [http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/File-Import.html importing] and [http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/File-Export.html#File-Export-Other exporting] files has the most complete and current list of supported file formats (and includes notes about required helper tools and about changes in recent Inkscape versions).
