The terrain AI files are saved without PDF compatibility, in order to reduce the size of the document. You can re-save the AI file with PDF compatibility enabled to use in other applications. The terrain maps are a system of two documents – the vector AI file with lines & text, and a raster PSD file of the relief image. When you open the AI map file, it “follows” a link to the PSD to draw the relief image for the map. Having this separate PSD image allows you to edit the terrain image in Photoshop independent of the other features. But saving the terrain maps with PDF compatibility greatly increases the AI file size (but does not eliminate the need for the PSD file.) Again, you can open the terrain map in Illustrator and use menu option File > Save As and then check PDF compatibility in the resulting dialog box. This will allow you to open the AI file into other applications such as Photoshop, if your needs require it.
